Greek Salad Horiatiki: Eat Like A Greek…

One Greek salad a day, keeps the doctor away! For me, Greek farmer’s salad or choriatiki is simply part of every good meal. For me personally, the motto is: the bigger the better!
With less than 10 ingredients, this classic is super easy and just as quick to prepare. Nevertheless, the authentic taste quickly becomes distorted if you vary the individual ingredients. That’s why we’ve listed all the ingredients for your authentic Greek salad here.

One more thing that is important to make your farmer’s salad really tasty: don’t put your vegetables in the fridge. They will only lose their flavor there.

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  1. Start by washing and chopping the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the red onion. Place these vegetables into a large salad bowl.
  2. Add the black olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl. The olives add a delightful brininess, while the feta brings a creamy texture that complements the crunchy vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
