Method

  • 1. Put the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper into your serving bowl.

  • 2. Add the crumbled matzo and mix.

  • 3. Add all the remaining ingredients.

  • 4. Toss to combine well, taking care not to break up the feta cheese.

  • 5. Let the salad stand at room temperature for a minimum of 15 minutes or overnight to allow the matzo to soak up some of the dressing.

  • To serve the stylish way: Serve with a green salad that includes rocket, or baby spinach.
  • Tips

    • Use a variety of tomatoes to get the best flavours for this crunchy Italian salad. It is a twist on the Tuscan bread recipe of Panzanella but here I am using broken pieces of matzo tossed in chopped garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It makes a delicious accompaniment to fish and is perfect to make for a Shabbat or Yom Tov as you need to make it in advance.
