There is probably not a single restaurant or cafe that does not have Greek salad on the menu. Everyone loves this wonderful dish from sunny Greece - a refreshing combination of fresh vegetables, herbs, salty feta cheese, olives and unusual oregano seasoning perfectly harmonizes in a healthy and tasty dish.

Traditionally, Greek is prepared with feta cheese, but in our area you can often find its replacement with feta cheese. She has a softer taste, and she is more common on our tables, but this does not detract from the charms of the salad. This is the recipe that I will share with you today.

Recipe for Greek salad with cheese and olives

Kitchenware: cutting board, large salad plate, knife, tablespoon.

Ingredients

Did you know? At home, the salad is prepared in an unusual way for us: vegetables are coarsely chopped, a generous piece of feta cheese is added and poured with plenty of olive oil. In Greece, it is called Horyatiki Salata - “Rustic” salad in translation. In the summer, at the time of vegetables and herbs, this dish takes first place on our table. Vegetables from the parents' dacha are the first thing to go to the salad, and oregano seasoning is always at hand. We eat it almost every day: light, and at the same time satisfying, it is perfect for both lunch and dinner. Even in winter, after Olivier, you miss it so much that no, no, and you will buy imported vegetables at a sky-high price to feel the taste of summer.

• Onions can be replaced with red onions or not added at all if you do not like it.
• Salad can be omitted if the cheese is salty enough. Focus on the end result and your taste.

Greek salad is quite simple to prepare, but it turns out beautiful, bright, light and tasty. In Greece, this salad is called Horiatiki salad or rustic salad. The ingredients include tomatoes, cucumbers, shallots, olives and feta - a traditional Greek cheese made from sheep's milk with the addition of goat's. But often other cheeses are used instead of feta, for example, fetax or brynza. I'll make a Greek salad with cheese. Sweet peppers and lettuce are also added to the salad. Vegetables for Greek salad are not chopped, but coarsely cut. It is seasoned with olive oil, salt, black pepper and oregano.

How to cook Greek salad with cheese

Wash fresh cucumbers, dry them and cut into thin slices 3-5 millimeters thick.

I also wash small fresh tomatoes, cut them into halves and cut out the stem. Then cut into slices.

Wash sweet bell pepper (yellow or green), remove the seed box and cut into thin strips.

We clean the red lettuce onion from the husk and cut into thin half rings. For this salad, it is better to use sweet varieties of onions to avoid bitterness.

As cheese for Greek salad, you can take feta or cheese. I had a bryndza. We cut it into small cubes, about 1 cm.

Optionally, you can add basil and parsley to the Greek salad. I like basil, it gives the salad a special piquancy. Rinse the herbs under cold water and pat dry. Finely chop the larger basil leaves, and I do not cut the small leaves of basil and parsley, but simply cut them off the stem (whole leaves look beautiful in a salad).

Put lettuce leaves and chopped vegetables on a dish: slices of tomato, cucumbers, julienned peppers and thin half rings of red onion.
Making salad dressing. Mix olive oil (preferably unrefined Extra Virgin) with lemon juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you don't like the slight bitterness of olive oil, you can mix it with refined sunflower oil. Pour the dressing over the salad and put cheese cubes, olives on top and sprinkle with herbs and dry oregano (optional).

Delicious Greek salad with cheese is ready! It turned out light, fresh, and at the same time, satisfying. Such a salad is usually not mixed before serving, but is done immediately before eating.
