Greek salad without pepper

20 min4 serv.20 февр. 2026 г.

Description

Minimum effort — excellent result. In Greece, where this salad is called Horiatiki, meaning "Village" salad, its traditional ingredients are tomatoes, cucumbers, onions (specifically shallots, not regular onions), olives, and, of course, feta cheese. As you can see, sweet peppers are absent from this list. So preparing a Greek salad without peppers is perfectly in line with tradition. However, one thing you absolutely cannot do without is fragrant extra virgin olive oil—preferably Greek, though any good quality will do. Combined with lemon juice, fresh vegetables, and spices, it's pure delight! :) You can serve it immediately.
