How To Make "horiatiki salata" greek village salad
-
1Wash and dry the tomatoes, cucumber, and green pepper. Clean off the outer skin from the onion, wash, and dry. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized irregularly shaped chunks, removing the core. Note1 Many cooks peel the tomatoes if the skins are tough; it's a personal call. Note2 I would taste the feta cheese before adding salt to the salad as feta cheese is usually a salty cheese.
-
2Slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices, cutting slices in half (whether or not you peel the cucumber is a personal choice). Salt lightly. Slice the pepper into rings, removing the stem and seeds. Slice the onion into thin rings.
-
3Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper and onion in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle with oregano, pour olive oil over the salad, and toss. Just before serving, place the feta on top of the salad , either as a slice (as in photo) or crumbled , and toss in some olives.

4Sprinkle the cheese with oregano (and pepper if desired). Drizzle the oil over the top, and serve. Additional ingredients: Capers: toss in a few if you like them.
