Greek Salad
Also known as: Χωριάτικη σαλάτα
Greek tomato, cucumber, onion, feta and black-olive salad with oregano, olive oil and vinegar.
About Greek Salad
Greek Salad, or Horiatiki, is the familiar village-style salad served around Greece. This profile follows the national tourism organisation recipe and excludes its optional capers.
Ripe tomato and cucumber make the salad juicy and fresh, with onion adding pungency. Salty feta and olives contrast with fruity olive oil, oregano and a bright vinegar dressing.
The salad is a loose, colourful mixture of chunky red tomato, crisp cucumber, onion, white feta and dark olives. It remains glossy and juicy rather than leafy or finely chopped.
