Montenegrin Sopska salad is pronounced “Shopska”.  It is very popular all through the Balkan countries.  This salad is a real delight and perfect when fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers are abundant.  The fresher the better! 

Also, what makes Montenegrin sopska salad special is the copious amounts of cheese that covered on top.  The cheese is typically sirene or a farmers cheese that is soft and has a hint of saltiness.  Montengrin Sopska Salad

It is dressed with just a touch of some excellent extra virgin olive oil and a splash of apple vinegar. We enjoyed this salad as part of Montenegrin feast however if would make a lovely light lunch with simply some bread and a glass of wine.

Did you know that the Montenegro got its name (Black Mountain) from the dark, mountain forests that cover the land?
