Preparation
As a home cook passionate about Mediterranean flavors, I recommend starting with the freshest vegetables for that true Greek taste. This classic Horiatiki salad is simple yet bursting with authenticity.
Separate the lettuce leaves and wash them thoroughly.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into cubes.
Cut the tomatoes into quarters, the feta into cubes, and deseed the peppers before slicing into strips.
Finely chop the onions.
In a large salad bowl, gently toss the lettuce with tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, and onions.
Arrange the feta and olives on top, then sprinkle with chopped mint and oregano.
For the dressing, whisk 2 tablespoons of olive oil with fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness—perfect alongside grilled meats or as a light meal.
