Horiatiki:

Horiatiki is a traditional Greek salad. It is easy to make, and is a healthy addition to any meal. You can serve it as a side, over a bed of lettuce, or with some bread as a light meal. I brought it as a side to my family's Easter dinner. I did not get any complaints.

Ingredients:

- 3 tomatoes cut into wedges
- 1 large cucumber sliced into thick half-moons
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 red onion sliced into rings
- 18 kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 8 artichoke heart halves
- 1 can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

In a large bowl toss tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, olives, artichokes, and garbanzo beans. Set the feta cheese aside.

In a small bowl mix oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Then mix the dressing with the ingredients in the large bowl, making sure all the vegetables are coated well. Fold in feta cheese.

You can eat this salad right away, but I recommend refrigerating and waiting a couple hours. Enjoy!
