What is a recipe for a GREAT Greek salad?
These are real ‘Greek’ salads … not the type that have been ‘Americanised’ Summer Horiatiki (Greek salad) Tomatoes (the big type) – chopped into large pieces Cucumber peeled and halved lengthways and sliced onion roughly chopped into large pieces green bell pepper sliced olives dried oregano feta olive oil plenty of salt (I prefer sea salt) Add all ingredients to a bowl – apart from feta and oregano pour over olive oil and salt (plenty of both if you want it to taste authentic! Remember Greeks hear glug glug when they pour olive oil – not measured out with teaspoons! places a thick slice of feta on top and sprinkle with oregano and a little more olive oil to coat the feta Tastes better if the ingredients are not straight from the fridge, but at room temp Winter Salad one Shredded white raw cabbage topped with grated carrot – olive oil – lemon and salt Salad two Long leafed lettuce thinly sliced (roll leaves together like a sausage shape and slice them with a knife thinly, not torn )
