directions

  • Whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, sugar, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Divide and arrange the tomatoes, onion, arugula, and olives on four plates.
  • Cut the feta cheese into 1" cubes. Beat egg in a small bowl and put the flour on a plate. Toss the cheese into the egg and shake off excess. Toss the egg coated cheese in the flour on the plate.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet. Add the cheese and fry over medium heat, turning until all sides are golden brown.
  • Scatter the fried feta over the salad. Whisk the dressing again and spoon over the salad. Serve while the feta cheese is still warm.

  3. Wow, what a terrific recipe Nan. I love feta and it is amazing prepared this way. It brings the salt out even more but in a good way. The dressing is light and refreshing and works well with all the ingredients in the salad. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again and again. Kudos on making it into my favorites cookbook for 2016. Made as written for CQ3 - Greece.
