Dice the tomatoes into large cubes.
Cut the cucumbers into half moons and the green peppers into rings.
Finely chop the red onion and parsley.
Mix the tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onion, and parsley on a wide plate.
Drizzle the olive oil, grape vinegar, salt, and black pepper over the salad.
Grate the white cheese over the salad and serve without waiting.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find sirene, use firm white cheese; if it is very salty, soak it in water for 8 minutes before grating so the salad salt stays balanced.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Shopska salad on a wide shallow plate, with grilled koftes and toasted bread if desired for a summer evening.
