Peace family, I recently went on a trip to Greece, and the food was so good, that I bought four cookbooks! I’ve been newly inspired in my cooking, and since coming back, I’ve almost exclusively cooked Greek food. One fresh dish that they served everywhere was a horiatiki (it means “village”) salad. It’s easy, it’s delicious, and it’s ubiquitously Greek!
Horiatiki Salad聽
3 ripe tomatoes
1 cucumber
1-2 green bell peppers
1 medium onion (purple is prettiest and seems to taste less harsh)
feta cheese to top it (about a big hamburger patty’s worth, cut into chunks)
6-12 black or kalamata olives
1/2 cup olive oil (preferably extra virgin… and Greek!)
2 tablespoons vinegar
salt, pepper, oregano
Slice the tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and onions and arrange attractively in a salad bowl. Sprinkle on聽some聽salt, pepper and oregano, then add the聽olives and feta cheese cubes on top of the salad. Pour the oil and vinegar over the top, and enjoy! 馃檪
