HORIATIKI SALATA: GREEK SALAD
Who doesn't love these ingredients? Sometimes I cheat and use Mozarella instead of feta; personal choice. The amount of Olive Oil, seal salt, peppers, and oregano is your choice. Recipe from About.com

Steps:
- 1. Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and green pepper. Clean off the outer skin from the onion, wash, and dry. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized irregularly shaped chunks, removing the core. Note1 Many cooks peel the tomatoes if the skins are tough; it's a personal call. Note2 I would taste the feta cheese before adding salt to the salad as feta cheese is usually a salty cheese.
- 2. Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices, cutting slices in half (whether or not you peel the cucumber is a personal choice). Salt lightly. Slice the pepper into rings, removing the stem and seeds. Slice the onion into thin rings.
- 3. Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper and onion in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle with oregano, pour olive oil over the salad, and toss. Just before serving, place the feta on top of the salad , either as a slice (as in photo) or crumbled , and toss in some olives.

GREEK SALAD (HORIATIKI SALATA)
On the menu in every Greek restaurant and many non-Greek restaurants as well, this salad has many individual variations, but here are the basics to work from. This is the traditional version that does not include lettuce. This is the way they made it in the Greek restaurant I worked in. They claimed this is the most traditional. All I know is that it is fresh and delicious!
