Greek Village Salad – Choriatiki – is a classic of Mediterranean cuisine: sun-ripened tomatoes, crisp cucumber, peppers, olives and feta, finished with extra virgin olive oil and aromatic herbs.

​

Simple, fresh and unmistakably Greek.

​

Preparation

• Prepare the vegetables: Wash the tomatoes, cucumber and pepper and cut them into chunky pieces. Slice the red onion into thin rings.

​

• Assemble the salad: Place the vegetables and Kalamata olives in a bowl and gently toss together.

​

• Season: Sprinkle with the Greek Village Salad Seasoning and a little Fleur de Sel, then drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.
