Chunky Feta Cheese Mint and Padron pepper Salad

We have been using feta cheese quite often these days and this salad is just one of those ways of preparing it. I have also included Padron peppers which are mild peppers, but imparts a nice crunchy texture and a greenish color to the salad. 

Padron peppers are very much part of Tapas bars in Spanish cuisine, specially the blistered Padron peppers that comes with potatoes etc. Padron pepper originates from a region in Spain known as Galicia. The combination of feta cheese and Padron peppers in this salad was very appetizing and was well received by my folks.

Now to the very simple recipe for this salad
