Spring season is almost here and so is the best time to have salads.

As the days will start getting hotter, you will see more and more salad recipes on my blog. Who doesn’t like a plate of refreshing salad especially during summers?

Every cuisine has some amazing salad recipes and I am looking forward to trying a lot of them this summer.

Do you know that the word salad comes from the Latin word ‘Herba Salta’ which means Salted herbs?

Today I am sharing one of my favorite salad recipes – Greek Salad, also known as Horiatiki salad.

It’s delicious, very easy to make, filling yet light.

Which is the most popular vegan/ vegetarian salad in your country? Please share with me, I would love to hear about it.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup feta cheese cubes
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomato cut into half
  • 1 medium-sized Persian/ English cucumber chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium-sized red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper chopped into bite-size pieces

  • For dressing mix olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over salad, toss and serve!

Notes

  1. Add salt carefully as feta cheese is already quite salty.
  2. Instead of using whole pitted olives, you can also add sliced ones.
  3. Finely chopped dill or mint leaves can be added too for extra freshness and flavor.

    Good morning! I love this salad. When I was a kid my Mum and I would eat at the local Greek restaurant every Saturday evening, and this reminds me of those days. 🙂

    I believe that an American iconic salad would be either a tossed green salad with 1000 Island dressing or the Waldorf salad. Now that I consider my childhood a Crab Louie is another salad that comes to mind; however, we always lived near the ocean and many in our country do not live in close proximity to the water. Nowadays any salad with a kale base is popular. I have kale growing in my garden right now! 😉

    I am looking forward to trying the Balela salad this week and your Lasagna soup;although, I may add zucchini to the mix.

      Good morning Stacy :). Thanks a lot for sharing your childhood memories and culture with me. You are lucky to have your own kitchen garden. Though as a kid I grew up in homes with gardens, for the past few years I live in a high rise apartment. I am waiting for the day when I will have my own kitchen garden where I could grow ingredients for my recipes like you :).

      Zucchini will make the Lasagna soup even more delicious. I will also try that next time 🙂
