Traditional Greek Salad (Horiatiki)

Can you tell that I am already missing my Home in Crete and the Generous Greek Cuisine?

Today, I am sharing the Greek Salad recipe I have made for years since my family lives in Greece. You will notice that there is no vinegar, as in Crete the Vinegar (Usually an apple cider vinegar) is served on the side when requested. Also, the Feta is not crumbled because we like it in block shape. Finally, I completed omitted the onions, by mistake.

I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Bon Appétit!

As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
