PREPARING VEGETABLES: Wash the tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly under running water. Cut the tomatoes into large pieces, preferably into eighths, to preserve their juiciness. Peel the cucumber if it is bitter, and slice it into thick half-moons.
PREPARING THE ONION: Peel the red onion and slice it into thin half-rings. To soften its sharpness, you can pour boiling water over it for a few seconds, then rinse it with cold water.
PREPARING THE SALAD INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, place the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion. Add the olives and sprinkle with dried oregano.
ADDING CHEESE AND DRESSING: Cut the feta cheese into cubes and add it to the salad. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad.
FINISHING THE SALAD: Gently mix all the ingredients so that the dressing evenly coats the vegetables and cheese. Transfer the salad to a decorative bowl and serve immediately.
Greek salad, known in Greece as 'horiatiki', is one of the most popular dishes of this cuisine, often enjoyed as an appetizer or main course on warmer days.
Serve the salad in a decorative bowl, preferably chilled, to keep the vegetables fresh and crunchy. You can garnish it with fresh basil leaves.
The salad is best consumed immediately after preparation, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Before serving, refresh the flavors by adding a little lemon juice.
