Greek Salad

Cultural Context

Greek salad, or Horiatiki, is a traditional dish that embodies the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is commonly served in Greece, especially during the summer months when fresh vegetables are abundant. This salad is often enjoyed as a side dish or a light meal, reflecting the Greek emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. Its simplicity and vibrant colors make it a staple in Greek cuisine, often accompanied by bread and wine.

4

After half an hour, check the accumulated tomato juices in the bowl.

5

Add a little dried oregano to the tomatoes, being careful not to add too much to avoid bitterness.

6

Slice a few rounds of red onion and add them to the bowl, adjusting the amount to taste.

7

Slice a few pieces of cucumber and add them to the salad (optional).

8

Add one to two kalamata olives per person on top of the salad.
