Horiatiki
3 tomatoes
1 cucumber
1 green bell pepper
1 red onion
1/2 pound crumbled feta cheese |
6-10 Kalamata olives
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt to taste |
Traditional Greek Salad..
Put all the ingredients in a big salad bowl. Start by
cutting the tomato in half and then cut in bite size slices. Cut the cucumber
by slicing it across (from one tip to the other) in half and then cutting
it along in small pieces of 1/3 inch wide. Cut the red onion in half and
then slice it in bite size pieces starting from the top and ending to the
bottom. Cut the bell pepper in rings; remove the seeds. Add the Kalamata
olives and the crumbled feta cheese. Add the salt and the oregano. Sprinkle
with the olive oil. Mix very well with two spoons until the salt, the oregano
and the olive oil cover all the other ingredients.
Serve as it is. You may put it in the refrigerator for
10 minutes before serving for a more "refreshing" plate. You also may add
more olive oil that will drain at the bottom of the bowl. While eating
you may dip bite size pieces of crusty bread in the olive oil that has
drained at the bottom of the bowl. Top the olive-oil-dripping bread pieces
with crumbled feta cheese from the bowl and enjoy
Yield: 3-4 people.
