Horiatiki: Greek Salad with Feta
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparing the vegetables
- 1
Horiatiki is a traditional Greek salad where the size of the pieces matters - cut the tomatoes into large wedges, the cucumber into thicker half-moons, and the green pepper into wider strips so every bite has the right texture and balance.
- 2
Peel the red onion, cut it in half, and slice it into thin half-moons so it does not taste too sharp in the salad.
Assembling and serving
- 3
Place all the vegetables in a bowl, add the Kalamata olives, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with wine vinegar and olive oil.
- 4
Toss the salad very gently, place the block of feta on top, sprinkle it with oregano, and serve immediately so the vegetables stay fresh and crisp.
More tips:
Do not crumble the feta into the salad in advance. Traditionally, it is served on top in one larger piece.
Salt the tomatoes only just before serving so they do not release too much liquid and water down the salad.
