This Horiatiki, a classic Greek salad is crisp, zesty, and absolutely delicious with a very quick and easy olive oil based vinaigrette. We adapted this recipe from one we were shown during our Greek cooking class at Ethos restaurant in New York City. It was adapted to incorporate some of our flavors (we love onion and garlic and desi spices!), but most importantly, it was adapted to serve a small family and not a room full of hungry New Yorkers! This goes perfectly with Kotopoulo Greek Roasted Chicken and Lemon Potatoes, Stuffed with Cous Cous, which we also learned to make at the cooking class.
