Known as horiatiki, this traditional Greek salad is made with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onion, and feta. We usually have plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers growing in the garden, and all you have to do is toss in some red onions, olives, bell pepper, feta cheese, a few herbs, and some olive oil and vinegar and you have beautiful, cooling, fresh, Greek salad.
Steps to make Greek Salad:
- Mix together salad dressing ingredients and whisk until combined.
- Chop romaine lettuce across into strips. Then cut the strips in half. (I like to cut the lettuce into bite size pieces)
- Peel, slice, and quarter the cucumber. Slice and chop the tomato.
- Add lettuce, tomato, and cucumber to a salad bowl and add enough dressing to coat. (You don't have to use all the dressing you mixed up).
- Add olives and feta cheese. Toss salad, and serve.
- It's a great side for chicken kebabs, shawarma, or Mediterranean favorites.
