This is an article about a top specialty in Crete, which are popular all over the rest of Greece as well. It is the traditional Greek Salad, also known as “Horiatiki” Salad (it means the salad of the village!). This salad contains tasty but also important ingredients for us.

Without that last ingredient, the salad will be a common one instead of being unique and traditional. Slice the cucumber, the tomatoes and the onion to pieces, add the feta cheese and the olive oil on top. Also add some salt and some oregano and you are ready to taste a salad that is not only tasty, but healthy as well. Enjoy.
