Greek Village Salad
Refreshing, vibrant, and bursting with the sun-kissed flavors of the Mediterranean, the Greek Village Salad — or Horiatiki Salad — is a rustic classic that captures the essence of traditional Greek countryside fare. Made with simple, high-quality ingredients, it’s light yet satisfying and perfect as a starter, side, or healthy main dish.
This iconic salad features chunky, ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, thinly sliced red onions, and sweet, crunchy bell peppers tossed together for a medley of fresh textures. Kalamata olives add a briny depth, while a generous slab or cubes of creamy, tangy feta cheese sit proudly on top.
The salad is simply dressed with extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper — sometimes finished with a splash of red wine vinegar for a bright, zesty kick.
Unlike many salads, Greek Village Salad doesn’t use any leafy greens — instead, it celebrates chunky vegetables and bold flavors. It’s best served fresh and chilled, with crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious juices and olive oil.
Rustic, colorful, and refreshingly simple, Greek Village Salad is a timeless tribute to the honest, wholesome ingredients of traditional Greek cuisine.
