Greek salad, also known as Horiatiki salad, is a fresh and flavorful dish that originated in Greece. It typically consists of a combination of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano.
To make a traditional Greek salad, start by preparing the vegetables. Dice tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice red onions and halve Kalamata olives. Combine these vegetables in a large bowl.
Next, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until well coated. Crumble feta cheese over the top of the salad and gently toss to combine.
Greek salad is best served immediately, allowing the flavors to meld together. It can be served as a side dish or as a light and refreshing main course. Enjoy this classic Mediterranean dish as a healthy and delicious addition to your meal!
