Broccoli Salad with Feta Cheese

Broccoli salad with feta cheese is the perfect choice for those looking for freshness and flavor in a single dish. Crispy broccoli combines with the distinct aroma of feta cheese, while eggs and almonds add texture and consistency. This recipe transforms a simple idea into something memorable, suitable for relaxed lunches or family dinners.

If you are expecting guests and only have 20-30 minutes to prepare something for the meal, making a salad is the best solution! Broccoli and feta cheese salad is simply perfect. I’ve eaten it in many different variations, but the version with corn, ham, toasted almond flakes, and a light garlic dressing seems to be the most delicious. I think that once you try my broccoli salad recipe, it will become your favorite.

• Broccoli can be used frozen, but for this salad I recommend using fresh broccoli. I used medium broccoli for my salad (if using frozen broccoli, use a package).
• Rinse fresh broccoli under cold water, cut it into small pieces, and discard the stems. Boil it in salted water over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, until tender (you can check this with a fork). It is important not to overcook it, but also not to leave it too hard because it has been undercooked. Place it in a colander and pour cold water over it. Leave the boiled broccoli to cool.
• Hard boil the eggs in lightly salted water, peel them thoroughly, and cut them into thick cubes.
• In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, one large or two small cloves of garlic pressed through a garlic press, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Arrange the broccoli in an even layer on the bottom of a large plate or salad bowl. Then sprinkle the corn, finely chopped feta cheese, and ham evenly on top. Add the eggs and cover everything with a light garlic dressing.
• Place the chopped almonds in a dry frying pan. Fry gently until lightly browned on both sides.
• Sprinkle the finished salad with crushed almonds. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
