Traditional Greek salad is typically served with a splash of citrus and extra virgin olive oil.

This is the real thing, do not accept imitations of so-called "Greek Salads". Straight from Greece this salad is full of flavor, nutrients and the goodness of summer produce! Called horiatiki, this lettuce-free salad made up of tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, olives and feta is one of the most popular Greek dishes. It is traditionally served with bread, not pita.

Instructions to make Authentic Greek Salad 🥗 🇬🇷:

1. Prepare a large salad bowl. Wash all the veggies well.
2. Slice the tomato over the bowl- you want the juice inside the bowl so the leftover juice you can mop it up with your pita bread.
3. Peel and slice the cucumber, chop the peppers in slices, as well as the onion. Add everything into the bowl.
4. Mix gently. Crumble feta and add over the salad. Drizzle with a bit of vinegar a generous dose of olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano and salt, adding capers and olives if using. Mix all well and enjoy! Perfect with Tzatziki and greek pita bread for summer day ☀️

But the fact is that this kind of 'Greek salad' recipe is rarely found in Greece. A traditional Greek salad recipe (Horiatiki) will always (and only) include tomato, sliced cucumber, green pepper, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives and of course feta cheese. It must be seasoned with dried oregano and salt and dressed with good quality extra. In this classic Greek salad recipe, tomatoes, red onion and cucumbers are dressed with olive oil and finished with crumbled feta cheese. It's essential to serve this with good crusty bread.
