SINGLE SERVE GREEK SALAD (HORIATIKI)
This single-serve Greek salad (Horiatiki) is a fresh and easy dish featuring feta, crisp veggies, and olive oil. Ready in 10 minutes, it’s the perfect appetizer or side.
This Single Serve Greek salad, or Horiatiki (Χωριάτικη Σαλάτα), is a classic Mediterranean dish that captures the essence of fresh, simple ingredients. This traditional recipe highlights the tangy feta, crisp vegetables, and rich olive oil that make it a staple in Greek cuisine. Packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein, it’s a nutritious and flavorful option that pairs well with any meal. While traditionally it is seasoned with a splash of vinegar, I usual serve it without it, allowing the olive oil and natural juices to shine.
Why You’ll Love This Single Serve Greek Salad (Horiatiki)
You’ll love this Greek salad for its refreshing taste and ease of preparation. It comes together in just 10 minutes, making it a perfect side or light appetizer, especially during hot summer days. The combination of juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, and briny olives, topped with creamy feta, creates a balance of textures and flavors in every bite. Serve it alongside grilled meats, seafood, or enjoy it on its own with some crusty bread. I love pairing it with a lean protein source such as these Herby Chicken Patties!
What makes this salad stand out is its simplicity. With minimal ingredients, it delivers maximum flavor and nutrition. The feta provides a good source of protein and calcium, while the olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. Fresh vegetables contribute fiber, keeping you full and satisfied. If you prefer a milder onion taste, soak the slices in ice water before adding them to the mix. Customize it by adjusting the seasoning or skipping the vinegar based on your preference.
Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a delicious side, this single-serve Greek salad is a go-to option. Its bold flavors, vibrant colors, and wholesome ingredients make it a must-try for any Mediterranean food lover.

Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the veggies. Thinly slice the onion1 (if using). Slice the tomatoes in half (if using cherry) or in small wedges (if using classic tomatoes). Peel the cucumber fully or partially in a striped pattern and slice in half circle slices (1 cm thick). Core and slice the green pepper into half circle rings.
In a small serving bowl, combine tomatoes, onion (optional), cucumber, pepper and olives.
Add the feta cheese in small cubes or crumbled and sprinkle with oregano.
Drizzle with the olive oil and (if using) the red wine vinegar, stir well to combine and enjoy!
Notes
1. If using the onion (optional), thinly slice in half circles and place it in a bowl of cold/ice water and let it soak for 5-10 minutes while you chop the other veggies. This help to reduce some of the heat of the onion. Alternatively, you could prickled red onions.
2. Traditional Horiatiki salad can be made with or without vinegar, it is up to your preference!
