- This classic Greek Salad Recipe is loaded up with fresh tomatoes, vegetables, feta cheese, and herbs in a light red wine vinaigrette.
A Greek salad, which is better known as a Horiatiki Salata in Greece, is a classic vegetable salad that is mixed with herbs, cheese, and a light vinaigrette. The tradition of eating a salad before the main meal was actually founded in ancient Greece. They believed that consuming fresh raw vegetables before a big main meal, that would aid in digestion.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 5 cored vine ripe tomatoes cut into bitesize pieces
• 1 cucumber sliced into half-moons
• 1 seeded and julienne green bell pepper
• ½ peeled and julienne red onion
• ¼ cup capers
• 10 to 12 pitted kalamata olives
• 10 to 12 pitted green Greek olives
• 8-ounce block of feta cheese broken into bitesize pieces
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 ½ teaspoons dry oregano
• salt and pepper to taste
Serves 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 0
Procedures:
1. Rinse and prepare all of the vegetables accordingly.
2. Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and red onions to a large platter or bowl.
3. Evenly place on the capers, olives, and feta cheese.
4. Drizzle on the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
5. Sprinkle the oregano, salt, and pepper over top, and serve.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: Keep the dressing separate, but you can make this up to 1 day ahead of time. I would also advise keeping the feta cheese separate until ready to serve. Don’t season it either until ready to serve.
How To Store: If you can keep the seasoning and vinaigrette separate and cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use pitted olives to make it easier to consume.
It is more classic to use a block of feta cheese rather than crumbles.
Any tomato will work for this recipe.

Wow, thank you.
I am half greek from Germany and I really enjoyed this one. Evcharistó
I worked in a Greek restaurant where they had late friday night parties and threw plates in the floor. So they were classic Greeks. The chef George, from Mykonos, used iceberg lettuce, calamata olives, red onion, peeled cucumber, some tomato wedges, fetta and vinaigrette MINUS garlic and bell pepper. It was good stuff and I have loved Greek cuisine and their music ever since.
I was hooked on Greek salad for a good long while.
I always make this style salad without vinegar and just use a really good extra virgin olive oil. A greek salad is anything that’s fresh from the garden
Beautiful salad Chef. GOD bless you all ladies and gentlemen.
I love how simple and delicious the recipes are. Thank you.
Thank you chef. I appreciate you showing your techniques.
This dish looks absolutely delicious! I'm actually craving🤤🤤🤤 it now, but I'll need to get the ingredients before I can attempt to make it!
Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️
Wow! Looks so Delicious!
Amazing I was nervous 😓 but omg delicious 😋 Thank you 😁 also as a single mom I don't have fancy nothing so I'm glad you mentioned that it doesn't matter 😊
We loved this and all your great recipes 😀❤😊
Makes us feel super fancy
Thank you, I’ve been wanting to make this Salad for years
Thanks for the great recipe. Yum
You’re such a great inspiration chef!
Looks so good
love it
What a perfect Greek salad recipe you made, very delicious and healthy, I love it! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
You should try fresh minced mint on this salad instead of Oregano. Mint is the bomb with tomatoes and feta
#Truth 🤜🤛
I love this salad and make it often. I don't care for a sharp red onion, though, so I soak my sliced onion in ice water for at least 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. It helps to get that going first thing while I attend to the other ingredients. Yum! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I do the same thing, and I even add sugar to the water. It really takes out the bite
You are a great 👍🤩😍!!
Capers 😍
I am always amazed by your slicing skills and I’ve finally saved up to get some professional knives. Can you recommend some? What chef’s knife do you use most?
That's my favorite salad. I make this salad at least 3 days a week and have for years. I season the tomatoes with basil S&P, the cucumber with dill S&P separately then add them to the remainder. It's the best of my garden.
the corner restaurant where I go to for coffee they have really good Greek salad but I can't eat the lettuce in their Greek dressing is up pink color and I liked it at it because it's on the sweet side
This is one of my fav salads. Finally an authentic Greek salad without lettuce.
This is the longest salad preparation I've ever seen
Not the classic Greek salad but nice twist!
Great recipes!
Do you have a flavor alternative for “pepper” when you do the seasoning with “salt and pepper”? - my wife is allergic to peppers (cyan, black, etc.)
Wonderfully inspiring recipes and coaching.
(: Try another herb like "Tarragon" ... ☺
FYI My mum taught me French vinaigrette and a little sugar was essential. It balances the flavours.
I add a little cinnamon instead of sugar. Cinnamon is also good in spaghetti sauce.
PS. I’m allergic to cucumbers. Is zucchini a good substitute?
OPA ! SA GA PO SOU !
I learned yesterday from a docter that lemon juice clears the lungs.
I put del and mixed it in the cheese put sauce it's awesome to
I like a bit of romaine lettuce with mine and some pepperoncini peppers.
Can I use normal vinegar?
Everyone saying no vinegar, many Greek restaurants add red Greek vinegar to their salads. Western taste buds love the acid. Just don’t over do it.
Folks...I lost 10lbs eating this salad for lunch or dinner.
Yes it works.
I think the important question to ask here is, how did you find such a juicy lemon?
This is the ONLY way my parents ever got me to eat onion as a kid… covered and smothered in feta and olives.
@ 00:51 Oh, no. Use the back of the knife to scrape the garlic from the press; not the knife edge.
I'm Greek and I was able to watch until 31 second mark when you started the recipe with vinegar. No vinegar or any other acid in the Greek salad please.
If you go to any greek restaurant in GREECE, the greek salad has Tomato, cucumber, olives, onion, sometimes green peppers, oregano, salt and ONLY virgin olive oil, no vinaigrette
I didn’t put vinaigrette on it, watch the video again.
@@ChefBillyParisi No vinegar in any form on the greek salad.
You have to peel the cucumber.
it's not a correct recipe of Horiatiki salad
Thank you! I'm not Greek but all my friends and neighbors are... I have only ever seen Olive Oil, Vinegar, Lemon/citrus, salt & pepper.
So how long does the dressing last bro? I call you bro because I believe you love the Lord.
Without feta crumbles, 10 days. With feta, 5-7. And yup, love the Lord!
Great salad. But, where is the bread? Don't tell you are on Keto.
Dude...you did good.
I'm a Chicago Greek.
Maybe you have just a little Greek in ya.
Get some good Vienna bread.
Dijon mustard? Greek salad? You lost me bro
Helps emulsify the vinaigrette. This is not a big deal or a flavor changer. It’s basic culinary knowledge.
The only dressing is olive oil. There is no garlic!!
Please try again, and make sure next time you do it right. Two minutes after watching this video, I got offended and angry.... I would like to very kindly ask you that you stop spreading wrong information around
Everything OK at home????
@@Isaiah--vj2xu all good mate, thank you!
Are these 3 ingredients bothering you as not authentic in Horiatiki Salad:
-- vinegar
-- Dijon mustard
-- sugar
?
@@r.g8725 The main thing that bothers me is that he says it's a law that you have to order a Greek salad in a Greek restaurant. Really? There's so much to try. And as for the ingredients, yes and no. Vinegar is fine, we add vinegar, no lemon, not a vinegret though, you just drizzle all of that on top. Nothing should be emulsified. But garlic? Wtf? Where did he see that? And other than that there is a few more things are wrong
I’m sure it’s good. But why do people always try to fix something that is NOT broken? Way too many things added to a simple simple traditional salad recipe.
You ruined greek salad we never put vinegar,lemon juice and garlic.
no sorry this dressing is not good :/
