horiatiki salad

Greece · Europe

Short description: Horiatiki is a chunky fresh salad built from vegetables, olives, olive oil, herbs, and a prominent piece of brined cheese.
Ingredients: Chunks of tomato, cucumber, onion, feta, olives, olive oil, oregano, and often green pepper.
Cultural note: It is usually assembled simply rather than finely chopped, letting ripe vegetables, salty cheese, and oil carry the dish.
Common misconception: The classic style is not a lettuce salad; the main structure is tomato, cucumber, onion, olives, and cheese.
