Greece’s famous village salad — ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber, red onion, olives and a slab of feta, known as horiatiki, dressed with nothing more than good olive oil and a little oregano. No lettuce, no fuss: just the best of the garden on a plate, and it takes fifteen minutes.

- 4 large ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 cucumber, halved and sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green pepper, deseeded and sliced

- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Method
- Combine: put the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, green pepper and olives in a large bowl.
- Dress: drizzle over the olive oil and red wine vinegar, sprinkle with oregano and season.
- Top: lay the slab of feta on top and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
