Greek salad, or horiatiki salata, which is a rough country salad of juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, sliced red onion, green pepper, crumbly feta cheese and plump kalamata olives.
Greek salad can be served as a side dish or as a light meal with some crusty bread.
Cut 3 tomatoes into wedges, ¼ red onion sliced into rings; ½ cucumber sliced into thick half-moons; ½ green pepper (capsicum), sliced and 4 oz (120g) feta cheese. Place the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine just before serving. Garnish the Greek salad with a little freshly ground black pepper (or some crushed chili peppers like I have in the picture).
