Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

Freshly ground pepper

7 TRADITIONAL GREEK SALADS BEYOND THE FAMILIAR - ALLRECIPES

From allrecipes.com
  • Salata Horta. View Recipe. This is a cooked salad of bitter greens tossed with lemon, olive oil, and salt. It can be made with dandelion greens to be super traditional, or other bitter greens like chicory, endive, or escarole.
  • Salata Horiatiki. View Recipe. This salad is the one that is closest to the ones you find on American menus, minus the lettuce. A blend of tomatoes, cucumber, onion, green pepper, feta, and olives, dressed with oil and vinegar, the lack of lettuce means that leftovers don't wilt and are just as delicious the next day.
  • Ampelofasolia Salata. View Recipe. A salad of cooked green beans with a lot of chopped parsley, dressed with a garlic vinaigrette, and served either hot or at room temperature, this is a great salad for barbecues or other gatherings where a salad might need to sit out for a while.
  • Melitzanosalata. View Recipe. Eggplant salad in Greece is similar to baba ghanoush, and can be a spread, side dish, or garnish for grilled meats. Roasted eggplant is mashed with grated onion, lemon juice, and a generous amount of olive oil to make it creamy and smooth.
  • Patatosalata. View Recipe. Potato salad in Greece is a far cry from the creamy potato salads we are familiar with here. Potatoes are boiled whole, then the skins slipped off while still hot, and sliced or broken into pieces.
  • Lahanosalata (Greek Cabbage Salad) View Recipe. This salad is "simplicity at its best," says Diana Moutsopoulos, the recipe submitter. " This cabbage salad is a mainstay in Greek homes, especially in winter.
