Greek Village Salad (Horiatiki)

Greek Village Salad (Horiatiki)

Story

This is the tavern table essential — the one that shows how good your tomatoes, oil, and feta really are. Keep cuts chunky, season with confidence, and don’t break the feta: the block is part of the ritual.

Description

Horiatiki is all texture: ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber, onion bite, green pepper crunch, briny olives/capers, and a slab of feta. The dressing is nothing more than good olive oil and a little red wine vinegar. No lettuce. No fuss.
