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.
