Greek salad, known as "Horiatiki" in Greece, has ancient roots. The concept of mixing vegetables and dressing them dates back to ancient Greece, where ingredients like olives, feta cheese, and various greens were commonly enjoyed. The traditional Greek salad typically includes tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese, dressed simply with olive oil, oregano, and sometimes a splash of red wine vinegar.
Different regions in Greece might add their own twist to the salad. For example, in Crete, it's common to add rusks (hard, dried bread) which are softened by the juices of the salad. The modern Greek salad became popular in the 19th and 20th centuries, coinciding with the rise of tourism in Greece. Its fresh ingredients and simple preparation made it a favorite among visitors.
Greek salad is not just a dish but a representation of Greek culture and the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients, healthy fats, and simplicity. The salad has influenced many other cuisines around the world, with variations adapted to local tastes and available ingredients. The ingredients in Greek salad, particularly olive oil, tomatoes, and cucumbers, are known for their health benefits. Olive oil is rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, while tomatoes and cucumbers are hydrating and full of vitamins.
