Cheese balls in sesame, macerated strawberries and a mix of lettuces. Delicious summer salad in Greek style.

For the preparation of cheese balls, we can use feta salad cheese, but the best option would be real feta cheese.

Greek feta cheese (geographically protected name) is an original salad cheese characterized by a spicy and salty taste, high creaminess and tenderness. Recommended for salads, baking in filo pastry, casseroles, scrambled eggs, grilled or poured with olive oil. Original feta cheese and black and white sesame can be bought in larger stores or online, e.g. at Cuisines of the world .

The inspiration for the preparation of this salad was the recipe of the Greek chef Dimitros Anastasopoulos from the book "Time for Greece". In his version, the Dimitros chef added Mataxa to the marinade, and he baked the marinated strawberries for 5 minutes in the oven. I modified the recipe a bit and skipped the brandy, which was replaced with balsamic vinegar, and served the strawberries raw.
