Horiatiki Greek Salad

Greek salad is a personal favorite, so I am constantly looking for ways to tweak it or change it up a bit. I really enjoy Horiatiki style as it comes with gorgeous hunks of smooth cheese and my favorite cucumbers. This is a crunchy salad that is full of flavor that I believe you could proudly enjoy standalone or with a main entree like shawarma. I enjoyed this recipe and recommend you try it at least once to see for yourself how delicious it really is.
