Horiatiki Greek salad
Last Updated on March 12, 2023 by Jacqueline Rafidi
I love a true Horiatiki Greek salad. Pronounced “hori – AH – tiki” which means village salad, this is exactly what comes to mind for many of us when we think about Greek food. The colors are bright, the flavors are fresh, and it’s so quick to make.
It reminds me a lot of the Arab style simple salad that we make with just about every meal including breakfast. The difference with a Horiatiki salad is that the veggies are typically chopped much larger, red wine vinegar is used rather than lemon juice, and nice, big chunks of feta are served right on top. The main thing about this salad is to make sure all the ingredients are top quality so they all shine.
