Horiatiki (Greek salad) · Athens

Tomato wedges, cucumber, green pepper, red onion, kalamata olives and a thick slab of feta with oregano and good olive oil, the Greek summer salad of Athens.

Horiatiki is the village salad, designed around the peak-summer Greek tomato. The classic Athens version uses no lettuce, only ripe tomatoes and feta in a thick slab over the top. The dish became the Athens lunch staple in the 1960s and is now a non-negotiable taverna order between June and September. The salad requires good tomato to work; it dies in winter when supermarket tomato is the only option.
