Horiatiki (Χωριάτικη) is actually more accurately village salad, and in most places in Greece we translate in the menus as Traditional. It is tranditional because marouli (letuce) use to not be available year round.

Another good addition (and pretty much standard everywhere I’ve been) to Horiatiki Salata is capers, but not the tiny ones they sell in the states. I usually try to bring back as many jars as I can from the islands. The ones from the island of Tinos are some of the best.

[...] But, the excessive Chicago heat already has me in the mood. Once I start dreaming of souvlaki, Greek salad, pasticcio, bougatsa and feta, it is impossible to push myself out of the taste bud trance. Last [...]

[...] perhaps some skordalia or tarama for spreading on bread. You could stop there OR follow with this Greek salad and pasticcio. Of course, don’t forget the ouzo (which we sipped last night alongside these [...]

[...] For my sister-in-law’s birthday, we set up the big, long table on the front porch, invited all the cousins and had an amazing, multi-meat course, red-hot-glowing-coals, tons-of-beer-and-wine-to-wash-it-all down barbeque. The Chicken Souvlaki is always one of my favorites. Small pieces of chicken, a few pepper pieces, oregano, lemon and olive oil is all it takes. I think that cooking the meat over wood charcoal adds a special flavor. But, gas grill or broiling would be an acceptable substitution since most Americans are not in the habit of having a 10 foot grill in their front yard. Often, the chicken skewers are served with pita bread (not a pocket) which can be warmed on the grill as well and Tzatziki (cucumber yogurt dip). Put it together with Horiatiki (Greek Peasant Salad) and you have a meal. [...]

This is one of my favorite things in the world to eat. Ny ex-husband was from Macedonia (just north of Thessaloniki, he had family in Greece, too), where the food is just about the same thing. I subsisted on this salad for years in my twenties (spent my summers in the Balkans and then the in-laws came to stay in America). Good food memories (the rest is water under the bridge).
