Greek Farmer's Salad

Cultural Context

Originating from the rural regions of Greece, Greek Farmer's Salad, or Horiatiki, reflects the simplicity and freshness of Mediterranean cuisine. Traditionally made with ingredients sourced from local gardens, it symbolizes the Greek ethos of using seasonal produce. Today, it is enjoyed globally, often adapted with various ingredients, yet it remains a staple of Greek dining, embodying the essence of summer in every bite.
