It is made with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, green peppers, kalamata olives, red onion, feta, and sometimes a few pepperoncini peppers thrown in for fun.
To make greek village salad (horiatiki):
In a large bowl, add chopped cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, onion, olives, and pepperoncini peppers if using.
In a small bowl, make the dressing by combining red wine vinegar (or lemon juice), oregano, garlic (if using), salt, and pepper.
Slowly add the olive oil, whisking to combine.
Taste, and add more vinegar or lemon juice if desired.
Adjust the salt, but remember that feta cheese is quite salty, so don't overdo it.
Drizzle dressing over salad, and mix everything together gently.
Place the feta cheese on top.
Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with oregano.
This salad can be served as a side dish, or as a meal all on its own.
