The "Horiatiki" Legacy:
A Village Love Letter
In a Greek village, you don’t "make" a salad; you assemble a harvest. The Horiatiki was born from the necessity of the farmer—meant to be eaten with a hunk of bread in the shade of an olive tree. It is a dish of rugged textures, meant to withstand the heat of the Aegean sun.
There are no delicate slivers here. Everything is cut "thick" to retain the cool crunch of the cucumber and the heavy silkiness of the tomato. It is a masterpiece of minimalism.
