How to make Shopska Salad
Tips from the cook
- Cut all the vegetables to the same bite size, so every forkful has a bit of each.
- Salt the vegetables lightly, as the white cheese is already salty.
- Grate the cheese just before serving, so it stays fluffy on top.
- No sirene? Feta works well in its place.

Meal prep and storage
Eat it the same day, as the tomato and cucumber release water and the salad turns soupy in the fridge.
