The Tale of Horiatiki
Horiatiki, Greek "village salad" of tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and feta, developed as a simple, seasonal dish reflecting rural Greek agriculture and the Mediterranean diet's reliance on fresh vegetables, olive oil, and cheese. Notably, it traditionally contains no lettuce, a distinction from the "Greek salads" often served abroad.
