Horiatiki Salata (Greek Salad)

An essential of any Greek meal, Horiatiki Salata (χωριάτικη σαλάτα, pronounced haw-ree-AH-tee-kee sah-LAH-tah) is a salad of tomato, cucumber and red onion, along with feta cheese and kalamata olives.

The dressing is made by whisking red wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil and dried oregano. It is set aside and the salad is assembled.

Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into 1/2" pieces. Slice the red onion in very thin strips. Coarsely chop some flat-leaf parsley. Toss this gently in a bowl. Add the dressing and fold the salad to coat evenly.

Just prior to serving add crumbled feta cheese and kalamata olives.

Fairly simple and very delicious. Every time.

Bon appétit!
