Freezing your feta may sound unusual, but it adds a delicious texture contrast and allows the cheese to melt into the sweet, ripe tomatoes in this new take on the classic Greek salad recipe. Crunchy, golden olive ciabatta croutons add all-important texture.

step 1
Drain the feta (100 g), place in a zip-lock bag and pop in the freezer for 30 minutes, until frozen.
step 2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Tear the ciabatta (2) into rough 3cm chunks and add to a baking tray, then drizzle with the garlic oil (2 tbsp). Season with salt and pepper then bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden and crisp.
step 3
Thinly slice the red onion (1/2) and place in a small bowl with the lemon juice (1/2) and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 15 minutes.
step 4
Meanwhile, cut the cucumber (1/2) down the middle lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Chop into half-moons. Cut the tomatoes (280 g), larger ones into slices, smaller ones halved.
step 5
To make the dressing, shake the Greek seasoning (2 tsp), olive oil (5 tbsp), lemon juice (1/2) and balsamic vinegar (2 tbsp) in a jar with a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste, adjusting the seasoning and acidity to your liking.
step 6
Place the red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives (180 g) and most of the mint (1 bunch) and basil (1 bunch) in a large bowl and toss with the dressing and the croutons. Transfer to a big serving platter then grate over the frozen feta and serve straight away with an extra scattering of basil and mint on top.
