What could be more delicious to eat on a hot summer day? Salad of course! I love all sorts of salads with different Oil bases and or any home made dressing. This is a very simple, green, light, and healthy salad based in Olive Oil and Lemon.Coming from a Greek background, I don’t remember my mother ever not using Olive Oil, and so the tradition continued with me. I use Olive Oil in all my salads and in my recipes, because I love the taste, texture, and the fact is the benefits of eating Olive Oil are just countless.

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

I love this dish on a sunny day out on the deck, served with pork slovaki straight from the BBQ.

The most famous, beloved, summer, and traditional salad, made with fresh, seasonal outdoor vegetables, topped with extra virgin olive oil and feta cheese. It’s a hearty and delicious main meal and always has a place of honor at our table. It’s also perfect as a side dish for any meal, whether it’s a stew or something grilled.

Making steak for dinner and was planning on making blue cheese dressing for a wedge salad. No blue cheese! So I grabbed Feta and made a new dressing. Yum! Great on salads or grilled chicken and pita bread. 😋

Tipical salad from greece, very fresh but not the lightest of all salads!!! (It can seem like a lazy way of adding the cheese to the salad but they do It like this in most places from greece)

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.

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've been craving a tasty salad, and what salad is more refreshing than greek salad? Exactly. So let's make a greek salad!
