Khoriatiki Salata Country Salad Recipes

GREEK HORIATIKI SALAD

Steps:

• Cut your tomatoes into wedges over the bowl that you're serving the salad in, so that any extra juices land in the bowl. Add onion slices. Liberally season with salt and oregano. Mix and allow tomatoes to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours, so that the salt releases the tomatoes' juices.
• Mix in feta cheese, cucumber, bell pepper, and olives just before serving. Stir everything together. Drizzle with olive oil.

HORIATIKI SALATA: GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Preparation:.
• Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and green pepper. Clean off the outer skin from the onion, wash, and dry.
• Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized irregularly shaped chunks, removing the core. Salt lightly. Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices, cutting slices in half (whether or not you peel the cucumber is a personal choice). Salt lightly. Slice the pepper into rings, removing the stem and seeds. Salt lightly. Slice the onion into thin rings.
• Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper and onion in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle with oregano, pour olive oil over the salad, and toss. Just before serving, place the feta on top of the salad, either as a slice or crumbled (as in photo), and toss in some olives. Sprinkle the cheese with oregano (and pepper if desired), mix the oil and water and drizzle over the top, and serve, garnished with hot peppers.
• Additional ingredients.
• Anchovies: if you like this salty fish, add a couple to the salad before tossing.
• Capers: toss in a few if you like them.
