This looks very nice. I’m going to make it for my family tomorrow. Question: could you swap the coconut oil with another kind of neutral oil?

Hi there, Dilys thanks for the question ☺️ coconut oil is pretty essential for this one as it solidifies at cooler temperatures which helps the feta firm up. You could try liquid vegetable oil although the end result will not harden up as nicely so we don't recommend it. Perhaps experimenting with the addition of some starch or trying a neutral flavoured plant-based margarine could be two ideas to help? Do let us know if you test it out and we hope you enjoy the recipe if you're able to give it a try 🫶

Thanks for the response! We tried it today, using neutral vegetable oil, and it indeed did not firm up as much, but we didn’t mind it.
We had difficulty with the molten sugar though. First try it got burned so I had to try again, and the second time it nearly burned again so I had to get it off the stove, which made it firm up quickly and that made it difficult to coat the walnuts. We ended up with not really coated walnuts and a lot of sugary chunks. My theory is that it had something to do with the quantity of the sugar - I upscaled the recipe to 7 people, and maybe that needs some more adjustments other than just more of everything.
Nevertheless, with the chunky sugar crunches and the more creamy feta, the flavor combinations of this dish are a hit! The family enjoyed it and I will definately make this again.

Hi Dilys! aw we're so happy to hear your family enjoyed the flavours 🤗 thanks so much for sharing your experience with scaling up the recipe.

The sugar may take a little longer to heat evenly in a larger batch, which can make it trickier to work with. We'd suggest keeping a close eye on it and working quickly when coating the walnuts, as the sugar can harden quite quickly once removed from the heat 🙌

And we're glad the creamier feta still worked out for you! Thanks again for taking the time to share the feedback 🫶 happy cooking xx

I used my beet tops finely sliced as I didn’t want to waste them. I agree with another post about the feta! It's banging! Will be making trough loads of this in future. Such and elegant dish. Easy but will really 'wow' your guests.

Amazing! All the the flavours go so well together. Will definitely make it again

Great recipe and very easy to adjust to what you have in your fridge. I added some arugula and persimmon as toppings, and the salad turned out delicious. Also, I advise you to make like three times the amount of that vegan feta because it is insanely good. You'll be eating it with a spoon, on toast, and pretty much on everything. I know I am.

We're so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, Małgorzata! Your creative additions of arugula and persimmon sound delightful. And yes, that vegan feta is a game-changer isn't it!? We find ourselves putting it on everything too 🤩

This is so good . I used arugula instead just because that is what I had and even my husband loves it.

Arugula is a lovely idea, Steffi, thank you! 😃
