Horiatiki

The real Greek salad — no lettuce, a slab of feta on top.

Ingredients

• 5 Tomatoes
• 2 Cucumber
• 1 Red onion
• 1 Green pepper
• ¾ cup Kalamata olives
• 250 g Feta cheese
• ½ cup Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Oregano
• 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Salt

Method

1. Cut large — Cut the tomatoes into thick wedges and the cucumber into chunky half-moons — never dice a horiatiki small.
2. Combine — Add the sliced onion, pepper rings and olives.
3. Season — Salt the vegetables lightly and add the vinegar.
4. Add the feta — Lay a whole slab of feta across the top rather than crumbling it.
5. Dress — Pour a generous amount of olive oil over and dust the feta with oregano.
6. Horiatiki is ready — Serve with bread to soak the juices at the bottom.
