Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend :) A brand new week ahead of us and I am hoping that it is a good one for everyone. I am back with a salad again today, and this one I know that everyone knows and has tried :) the Traditional Greek Salad, or otherwise known in Greece as "Choriatiki Salata" which translated into English means "Country Salad" or "Village Salad"This reminds of a story, my Dad had a really great sense of humour sometimes his jokes were just to funny that my stomach would hurt from laughing so much, but sometimes he would say things that were just so nonchalant...This is really funny but you need to understand Greek to be able to understand. We had gone to a Greek Tavern in Chasia which is an area in Athens that mainly has Greek Taverns. :) We were just about to order the appetisers when my dad turned around in a very nonchalant way and asked the waiter if they had "Vlaxiki salata" instead of saying "Choriatiki salata". We had never heard this salad referred to as Vlaxiki Salad, we had a good laugh and so did the waiter!! :)The truth is that back in those days the Villagers would grow there own tomatoes, cucumbers, so when working in the fields they would have a Tomato, Cucumber a few olives on a napkin to eat. So the term Vlaxiki Salata comes from how they used to eat, as years followed the named changed to Greek Salad, or Choriatiki. :) My mom grew up in a village so she told me that back then this is what my grandfather use

I got this recipe from meal lime. It was a hit with my family, but we did tweak it slightly.

I was looking for something I could make that had oodles of delicious feta cheese, but also kept it fresh/light! So I made this version of Greek Salad. Enjoy!!

This is my favorite summer salad. When you can use fresh vegetables, even better when they come out of your very own garden. This recipe was handed down to me by an older Greek gentleman iam happy that he shared this recipe with me, as it become my all time summer favorite dish to eat and make.(Thank you George )

This salad is as delicious as the classic Greek salad, but with extra protein and healthy fats to make it an easy, complete meal!

Greek Horiatiki salad is very popular throughout Greece and is also well known abroad. It’s made with tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, olives, onion, green bell pepper, olive oil, oregano, and salt. Sometimes capers are added (very often in the Cyclades), as well as vinegar, and parsley for garnish (mainly in Northern Greece), along with barley rusks. In many Greek islands and other regions, local cheeses may be used instead of feta. In some places abroad, like the US, a variation of Horiatiki salad includes lettuce. The name "Horiatiki" refers to village-style cooking, meaning the traditional cuisine of Greek villages. This salad is based on simple, everyday ingredients that were easily available to people living in rural areas.

Jamie Oliver inspired Greek salad!
