Best cheese for salad
Feta is the salad cheese. It is brined sheep's milk that crumbles and stays salty on vegetables.
Crumble, shave, or slice
A salad cheese should stay in pieces. Brined cheeses, fresh goat cheese, and hard grating cheeses do that. A processed slice melts and disappears.
Salt
Feta and a sheep's-milk blue are already salty. Dress the leaves before you decide to add more salt.
