The horiatiki salad or Greek Salad can be served as an appetizer, can be an excellent main course as well, especially in the summer. After a day on the beach, this salad accompanied by some crusty bread and a glass of wine hits the spot every time!

Be sure to use good quality Greek kalamata olives and creamy feta cheese such as Omiros Feta, made from sheep’s and goat milk, are a must in a traditional Greek salad. And the cheese is never crumbled, but served in large chunks or blocks and drizzled with olive oil, crowning the salad.
