This is the real thing, do not accept imitations of so-called "Greek Salads". Straight from Greece this salad is full of flavor, nutrients and the goodness of summer produce!

Instructions to make Authentic Greek Salad 🥗 🇬🇷:
- Prepare a large salad bowl. Wash all the veggies well.
- Slice the tomato over the bowl- you want the juice inside the bowl so the leftover juice you can mop it up with your pita bread.
- Peel and slice the cucumber, chop the peppers in slices, as well as the onion. Add everything into the bowl.
- Mix gently. Crumble feta and add over the salad. Drizzle with a bit of vinegar a generous dose of olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano and salt, adding capers and olives if using. Mix all well and enjoy! Perfect with Tzatziki and greek pita bread for summer day ☀️
But it turned out to be my absolute favorite dish there and I ordered it many times. The key is to have the very freshest ingredients, including the feta. But the fact is that this kind of 'Greek salad' recipe is rarely found in Greece. A traditional Greek salad recipe (Horiatiki) will always (and only) include tomato, sliced cucumber, green pepper, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives and of course feta cheese. It must be seasoned with dried oregano and salt and dressed with good quality extra.
