Country Salad

Country salad(χωριάτικη σαλάτα choriatiko salata) is a simple salad from Greek cuisine. There are many variations, typically including cucumber, tomato, olive, and feta cheese. Onion and chili are also commonly added. The dressing is generally simple, with olive oil as a major ingredient. Oregano or other herbs may be added.

This vegan variation omits cheese and uses a simple olive oil dressing. Quantities can vary; adjust to taste.
