Greek Salad Recipe
This Greek salad recipe is the easiest, but still the most delicious, version of the traditional farmer’s salad, or horiatiki.
A salad like this, is present on every dinner table in Greece, especially during the hot summer months.
Its combination of juicy tomatoes, cucumber, sliced red onion, lettuce, crumbly Feta cheese and large Kalamata olives, with extra virgin olive oil sprinkled on the top, is hard to resist.
