How to make a Greek salad the traditional way

How to make a Greek salad the traditional way

An authentic Greek salad, known in Greece as Horiatiki (which simply means 'village' salad), is a lesson in rustic simplicity. The most important and often surprising rule for those outside of Greece? There is no lettuce. It’s not a leafy green salad found in your lunch meal box. It's a celebration of seasonal vegetables. An authentic Greek salad recipe is a chunky, vibrant mix of:

  • Ripe, flavourful tomatoes
  • Crisp cucumber (often partially peeled in stripes)
  • Sharp red onion, thinly sliced
  • Green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • A handful of high-quality Kalamata olives

It’s all topped with a generous slab of feta cheese (never crumbled) and dressed simply with the best extra virgin olive oil you can find, a splash of red wine vinegar, and a liberal sprinkle of dried Greek oregano. That's it. An authentic Greek salad. It’s simple, robust and lets the ingredients shine.

The easiest, best Greek salad dressing

The easiest, best Greek salad dressing

Forget complicated, emulsified vinaigrettes. The most authentic Greek recipes for salad dressings are incredibly simple and often just drizzled over the top of the salad just before serving. The secret isn't a complex recipe — it's the quality of your ingredients.

Greek salad dressing ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Greek Oregano
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Greek salad dressing steps:

  1. In a small bowl or a jam jar, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar (start with 1 tablespoon), and dried oregano.
  2. Add a small pinch of salt (remember the feta and olives are already salty) and a good grind of black pepper.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together until just combined. Don't worry about creating a perfect, thick emulsion — a rustic, light dressing is part of the charm.
  4. Give it a taste. Does it need the second tablespoon of vinegar for more tang? A touch more salt? Adjust it to your liking.
  5. Drizzle generously over your Greek-style chicken salad just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
How to build a better Greek salad

How to build a better Greek salad

Greek salad recipes have very few ingredients, so their quality is what makes the difference between a good Greek salad and a great one.

  • The Tomatoes are Crucial: This is the number one rule. Use the ripest, most flavourful tomatoes you can find. In-season, fresh-from-the-vine tomatoes are best. If you're making this out of season, flavourful cherry tomatoes, halved, are a good substitute.
  • Use Real Feta: Look for authentic Greek feta cheese made from sheep's milk (or a blend of sheep and goat's milk). It's creamier, tangier, and more complex than 'Greek-style' salad cheese made from cow's milk.
  • Cut it Chunky: This isn't a finely diced salsa. A Greek chicken with pita bread salad is rustic. Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, and pepper into large, generous, bite-sized chunks. The onion should be thinly sliced into half-moons.
  • Don't Crumble the Feta: For that authentic touch, add the feta as a whole slab or in large chunks right on top of the salad. Let your guests break it apart as they eat.
  • Use Good Olives: Kalamata olives are the traditional choice. Their rich, fruity, and slightly smoky flavour is essential to the salad's profile. Using olives with the stones in (just warn your guests!) will always provide more flavour.
