RED PEPPER, ONION AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut bell peppers lengthwise into quarters; remove stems, seeds and membranes. Lightly brush onion slices with oil.
• Place pepper wedges, skin side down, and onions on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until pepper skins are completely blackened and blistered and onions are tender.
• Set onions aside. Immediately place pepper wedges in medium bowl. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Cool 5 minutes. Peel off blackened skin; rinse quickly with water. Cut peppers into strips. Return peppers to bowl; add onions.
• In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup oil, the vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper with whisk. Add 2 tablespoons dressing to onion mixture; toss to coat. In large bowl, toss arugula with remaining dressing. Top with onion mixture, walnuts and cheese. Serve immediately.

QUINOA & FETA SALAD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa following pack instructions, then drain really well and set aside.
• Meanwhile heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the onion and peppers with 1 tbsp of the oil and seasoning on a roasting tray, then roast for 15 mins.
• Toss the courgettes and garlic with the rest of the veg and roast for another 15 mins.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash with some seasoning. Stir in the remaining oil, lemon juice and zest and season with sugar to taste. Drizzle over the quinoa and toss together with the roasted vegetables and parsley. Crumble over the feta, toss gently again and serve.

ROASTED PEPPER & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Wash peppers and lay them in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil over the peppers and bake for about 35 minutes, until wilted and beginning to turn brown. Remove peppers from oven and cover with foil or a towel. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. Carefully remove as much peel as you can from the peppers; discard. Some peel may be stubborn and remain - that's ok. Remove the centers and seeds also.
• Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces and add to a large bowl. Add parsley, feta, lemon zest, and the oil that the peppers cooked in. Toss and serve.
• Keeps refrigerated for about two days. I think the salad tastes best served closer to room temperature.

BELL PEPPER, TOMATO, AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, all bell peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Crumble feta cheese on top.
• Stir together oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, and black pepper in a cup. Pour over salad and toss to combine.

ORZO, FETA & PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Put the onion in a bowl, season really well and toss with the vinegar and olive oil. Leave to marinate and soften while the pasta is cooking.
• Cook the orzo in salted boiling water until just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water and drain really well again. Toss with the onion mixture and gently mix through the rest of the ingredients.

CHARRED CORN & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Put the onion in a bowl, cover with water and leave for 5 mins. Drain, rinse and set aside on a sheet of kitchen paper to drain.
• Fry the sweetcorn in a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat for 4 mins, stirring regularly until it starts to colour. Add a drizzle of oil and the butter, stirring to coat. Cook for another few minutes, or until the kernels are browned all over and a few of the kernels are darker at the edges. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Once cool, mix the corn with the drained onions, chives, parsley and feta. Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Taste for salt - be careful not to add too much as the feta is quite salty.

RED PEPPER AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• To make dressing: place garlic, ginger, and oils into a small pan over medium heat. Cook just until the garlic turns white; do not allow garlic to brown. If garlic browns, toss out and start over. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. The dressing may be made several hours in advance.
• Roast the pepper quarters under a broiler until skin blackens and blisters. Wrap in damp paper towels and place in a small paper bag, folding top down to close. Allow to sit until cooled enough to handle, 15-20 minutes.
• Peel, trim, and cut each quarter into halves.
• Slice the feta into 8 slices.
• On each of 4 salad plates, place one strip of pepper. Add a slice of feta, then top with 2 basil leaves. Repeat layers, fanning or arranging the layers so that each layer is visible.
• Cover loosely with damp paper towels and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, bring salads to room temperature. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and grind pepper over the top to taste. Garnish with a sprig of basil leaves and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the salad.
