Pin This RecipeA real Greek salad (horiatiki) has no lettuce — just big chunks of ripe tomatoes, cool cucumbers, sharp red onion, briny Kalamata olives, and a generous slab of feta dressed in good olive oil and oregano.
Quality ingredients are everything here. Seek out the ripest summer tomatoes you can find.
The feta should be placed in one large slab on top, not crumbled.
