Tip
Don't crumble the feta — lay it on top in one piece like the Greeks do.

The original horiatiki is tomato, cucumber, onion, pepper, olives and a whole slab of feta on top with olive oil and oregano — no lettuce, no bottled dressing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make it a full meal?
Add chickpeas, tuna or grilled chicken breast for a filling lunch.
