California Greek Salad

California Greek Salad

Horiatiki or Greek Village Salad is a traditional mix of chunky tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onion and olives dressed in red wine vinegar & olive oil, sprinkled with oregano, and topped with a creamy slab of briny feta. Crisp & refreshing it almost calls for a lazy, seaside picnic in the afternoon sun.  While paying homage to tradition, my California Greek is a little more complex with the addition of mixed lettuces, roasted tomatoes, and a robust dressing. I like to think of it as the more formal, alfresco version.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
12 cups mixed lettuces
2 cups cucumber, chopped
1 cup red pepper, chopped
½ cup red onion, chopped
½ cup kalamata olives
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons oregano, dried
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup olive oil
1 cup feta
¼ cup oregano, fresh

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

Toss cherry tomatoes in olive oil, spreading on prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle with salt.

Roast for 20 minutes, until skins blister and burst.

Let cool.

Rinse and drain lettuces.

In a large salad bowl, add lettuces, cucumber, red pepper, red onion and olives.

In a small bowl, add red wine vinegar, dijon, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper whisking, until well-combined.

Slowly add olive oil, whisking, until emulsified.

Drizzle dressing over salad mixture, tossing to combine. *

Top with feta and fresh oregano.

* Dress to desired taste — leftover dressing will keep for one week refrigerated. Bring to room temperature & whisk before re-serving.
