Authentic Mediterranean Greek Salad - Candies UI
Refresh your palate with the ultimate Greek Salad. At Candies UI, we bring you a vibrant mix of crisp vegetables and creamy feta cheese that takes only 10 minutes to prepare.
1 Fresh Ingredients
The foundation: Ripe tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and sharp red onions.
What You Need:
- 3 Large Tomatoes
- 1 English Cucumber
- 1/2 Red Onion, sliced
- 200g Feta Cheese
- Kalamata Olives
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Dried Oregano & Salt
The secret to a true Greek salad, as we emphasize at Candies UI, is not using lettuce. A traditional Horiatiki salad focuses purely on the crunch of the cucumber and the sweetness of the tomatoes.
2 The Finished Masterpiece
Drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano before serving.
Instructions:
- Chop: Cut tomatoes and cucumbers into large chunks. Slice the onion into thin half-moons.
- Toss: Place all vegetables in a large bowl. Add a handful of olives.
- Season: Drizzle generously with olive oil and vinegar. Add a pinch of salt.
- Top: Place the block of feta cheese on top (or crumble it) and sprinkle with dried oregano.
