As for the block of feta, I think most Greek salads have crumbled feta on them… the block is a Jamieism.

I think I would prefer the Feta to be grated too, although it is easy to break it up into small pieces. I know what you mean about the saltiness but I don’t find Feta too bad for that.

Your food always looks beautiful, Lex. Jamie should take note 🙂

If it’s really salty, I feel like all moisture is drained from my mouth and the rest of the salad doesn’t taste very nice.

I’d recommend fresh flat leaf parsley, finely sliced. Especially if you can find really big leaves, they have a strong flavour and feel almost fibrous, but combine fabulously with really ripe tomatoes.

Also roasted red peppers work well in the salad.

Though I didn’t watch Jamie’s show, after watching the Stockholm episode.

Interesting with the three types of tomatoes, were you able to notice the difference in flavour after all was combined?

It’s so tricky to make it look like it was actually home made. I of course have this problem all the time, just like Jamie!
