Condé Nast Traveller, UK’s leading travel magazine, published a feature article on the most popular, iconic dish of the Greek cuisine, the famous Horiatiki, or as it is known in the rest of the world, the Greek salad.

The article praises this simple and yet delicious salad that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course, accompanied with some fresh bread or barley rusks.

The writer underlines that the Greek cuisine is all about good ingredients. The freshness of the vegetables used and the quality of the feta cheese and the herbs are what makes this simple dish so special.

Τhe article also offers advice on where to find the best ingredients to prepare the Horiatiki and guidelines on how to eat it right (using a piece of bread instead of a knife to push things around your plate).

A final advice though: Never put lettuce in the Horiatiki. “That’s a big no-no, if not outright heresy,” the article states!
