Bresaola and tomato salad is a perfect balance of saltiness and tartness in every bite. Bresaola is a type of air-dried beef that originates from Northern Italy. It has a rich flavor and a slightly chewy texture. In this recipe, thinly sliced tomatoes are used to provide a fresh and juicy bite which complements the air-dried beef perfectly. Bulgarian feta cheese is crumbled on top of the salad, which provides the dish a salty and tangy flavor. The addition of basil leaves and olive oil not only adds flavor to the salad, but also packs it with numerous health benefits.

1.	Arrange 5-6 slices of bresaola on each plate.
2.	Add thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the bresaola.
3.	Gently crumble the feta cheese on the salad.
