The name of the Greek salad came from the deep past, from antiquity, Namely from Southern Greece. And the Greek salad is translated as "Rustic salad". Greek peasants have been engaged in crop and livestock production since ancient times. Vegetables, olives and goat cheese were always available. And everything is not bad, but the Greeks managed to improve this dish only in the 16th century. Until that time, the Greeks cooked it without tomatoes. And tomatoes were brought to Greece by the Spaniards. The Greeks did not immediately understand that tomatoes were a type of vegetable, so they used them to decorate their homes. But later they realized that it was this vegetable that would complement the dish, giving it improbability and delight, change its taste, and also add aesthetics to the dish. It is worth visiting Greece at least once and trying this wonderful dish, then the conclusion can be drawn as follows: There are many recipes for Greek salad with Chinese cabbage. And the main secret of taste lies in the dressing. Each chef brings his own subtleties to the dressing, which he is silent about, but does not give out secrets. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the vegetables in this dish are served coarsely chopped, abundantly watered with dressing and cold-pressed olive oil. Olives for salad use dark blue, salty with a stone. And on top generously lay out a large piece of sheep, goat Feta cheese. In Russia, the variety of recipes is ambiguous, and each cook or hostess has his own subtleties and tricks in cooking technology. Dressing and taste qualities are different, and instead of Feta cheese they use Fetaksa, Cheese, Bulgarian cheese or blue cheese.
This section provides a recipe for a classic Greek salad with Chinese cabbage.

If you are not yet familiar with Greek cuisine, pay attention to this step-by-step recipe with photos. This is a simple vegetable salad that will decorate your dinner. Greek salad with Beijing cabbage is one of the variations of the classic recipe. When fresh lettuce leaves are not on hand, replace them with fresh Chinese cabbage. It will turn out delicious and beautiful. The cooking process is so easy that it is subject to novice cooks.
Greek salad with Beijing cabbage can be prepared at any time of the year, since vegetables are available even in winter. In addition to fresh vegetables, you will need salted feta cheese and pitted black olives.
Salad Ingredients:
Cut vegetables into medium-sized pieces. Peel the sweet pepper from seeds, cut off the tails from the cucumbers, and cut the stalks from the tomato. Place juicy fresh vegetables in a bowl.
Peking cabbage cut into strips: it is better to use the green part, it is more juicy and crispy.
Sweet purple onion chop - cut into half rings. Such an onion is not spicy and will give the salad a bright shade.
Cut the feta into large pieces, add to the salad along with the olives. Drain marinade from olives.
Pour the salad with olive oil (the oil must be of the first cold pressing), do not add salt. The salted feta will add flavor to the salad.
Mix the salad lightly and put on a dish. Serve immediately after preparation. Good appetite!
If you have never been to Greece, you can take a trip there in no time with a classic Greek salad recipe that is amazing, fresh and crunchy. The original Greek salad is made exclusively from fresh vegetables, freshly picked from the garden, soft feta cheese and ripe olives. Even its name - Horiatiki, which translates into Russian as "village" means that it must be cooked and eaten immediately, as soon as the harvest is harvested and eaten right there.
Once I visited Greece, on the beautiful island of Corfu, and, traveling there through small towns and villages, I tasted so much of this Greek salad that now I can’t forget. There, olives grow on trees everywhere and are public property. Not a single olive tree can be cut down without special permission, and the harvest is collected by the whole city, when ripe olives themselves fall from the branches of the tree onto specially laid out nets. These are the hardworking Greeks, sitting and waiting for the olive harvest, and they also love to eat. And their simplest and favorite salad became popular all over the world.
You might think, why is it so unusual to mix cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers, our summer residents also prepare such a salad for barbecue. And here it is not like that. A real Greek salad must be prepared with feta cheese, and the most important ingredients that give a unique taste are olives, oregano and natural olive oil. And each ingredient is critically important, they didn’t put oregano or took sunflower oil - that’s all, this is not a Greek salad, just a vegetable salad.
By the way, in Greece itself, even olives are different from those that we are used to eating. We have them canned in jars, black and pitted, while they have them brown, reddish, large and fleshy. And they put them in a salad with seeds, it's even tastier, because the olive remains whole, like all the juices inside it. Those black olives that we constantly eat are most often brought to us from Spain. Pay attention to the manufacturer when you buy another jar of olives, or black olives, as we call black olives. This is just our habit, because both black and green are the same olives, just different degrees of maturity.
A classic Greek salad consists only of vegetables, olives and cheese. Nothing else is added to it. It is very important that the vegetables are cut into large pieces so that each individual taste is felt. The Greeks themselves never grind this salad.
Be sure to look for delicious natural olive oil. I sometimes even use unrefined olive oil, which tastes even brighter. The most important flavor accent comes from oregano. If you can buy fresh oregano, then use it in a salad, the taste will be incomparable. But the dry version is also good. Especially considering that in winter it is easier to find dry herbs in our country.
You will need:
Cooking:
1. All vegetables must be thoroughly washed. Mix together lemon juice and olive oil. Pour dry oregano and a little black pepper there and leave to dissolve the spices.
2. Cut the tomatoes in half. Then each half into 9 parts. Get just the right size cubes.
3. Cut cucumbers lengthwise, and then into large semicircles.
4. Cut the onion into rings or half rings. Red onions are best suited for this salad because they are not as bitter as white onions. Break the onion into rings.
5. Olives can be left whole or cut in half. Be sure to use pitted black olives. Greens won't work.
6. Feta cheese should be cut into cubes about the same size as the vegetables. You can buy feta already in cubes, now these are often found in stores. From my own experience I can say that if the cheese is very soft, then it is better to put it last and stir it very carefully.
7. Put all the vegetables in a salad bowl and mix. Pour the previously prepared sauce, salt to taste, taking into account the fact that the feta cheese is already quite salty. Put the cheese itself at the end and stir very carefully by turning the salad with a spoon.
The salad is ready and should be served immediately. It is very tasty right away, while the vegetables are juicy. It is best to prepare it just before serving.
Bon Appetit!
Now let's move on to some variations. Greek salad is sometimes modified according to our tastes. In each country, and even in each individual family, Greek salad may have its own taste and additional ingredients. Beijing cabbage or green salad does not drastically change its taste, but add its charm to it.
You will need:
Cooking:
Greek salad, as the Greeks themselves say, should not be cut, but chopped. Coarsely chopped vegetables are practically the hallmark of this salad.
Wash all vegetables well. Be sure to dry the Chinese cabbage so that there is no excess water. Take a knife and cut the tomatoes into slices, cucumbers into large semi-circles, 1.5 cm thick. Cut the pepper in half and then into large pieces, not even necessarily squares, you can also cut obliquely to make triangles.
Tear lettuce with your hands into large, uneven pieces. Take the olives out of the jar. Onion cut into large circles.
Feta cheese can be cut into cubes or large bars. Mix all the vegetables and season with oil, add oregano, salt and pepper. Then put in the feta. Greek salad is ready! Invite guests to the table!
Let's complicate the recipe and add even more flavor. Some zest in the form of mushrooms. All other ingredients are still in place, these are tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, olives, Chinese cabbage, feta cheese. Everything is just as tasty and even a little tastier. I was just talking about how Greek salad is changing in different geographical areas and even families. Here is a good example of that.
A detailed video recipe will help you prepare a very tasty and original Greek salad.
I think that the Greek salad with croutons was invented by great fans of the Caesar salad, because croutons are an important and integral ingredient in it. In Greek salad, crackers are an optional ingredient, but one of the variations. If you want to try this version of the salad, then do it safely. All the same, croutons go well with all the components of this salad. And vegetables, and olives, and Beijing cabbage. By the way, in this recipe, regular hard cheese replaces salted feta cheese. For those who do not like feta, this may be a suitable version of the Greek salad. Crackers are best cooked on their own from white bread.
You will need:
Cooking:
1. Cut the tomatoes into cubes.
2. Cucumbers in large cubes.
3. Shred Chinese cabbage into strips.
4. Open a jar of olives, fish out a few pieces to taste and add to the salad.
5. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
6. Cook croutons from white bread. To do this, fry it in cubes in oil in a pan or dry it in the oven, spreading it on a baking sheet.
7. Now it remains only to mix the salad and season it. Don't forget to salt.
For dressing, you can use olive oil mixed with oregano, or you can take regular table mayonnaise. Choose according to your taste. But it seems to me that Greek salad is better to cook with olive oil.
Bon Appetit!

This is a completely opposite recipe that the Greeks are used to seeing. Yes, it is radically different in composition, but such a salad will turn out to be highly nutritious and meaningful. And the taste is simply divine!
Of course, ingredients such as tomato, cucumber, pepper and onion remain, as without them. Cheese is generally a significant component, without which a Greek salad will cease to be such. Oh yes, don't forget the olives too. So let's get down to the ingredients:
Puff Greek
Crackers are definitely better to do on their own. If someone decides to use store-bought with all sorts of seasonings for this purpose, then throw this thought out of your head immediately. Cut the bread into small squares and fry until golden brown in vegetable oil. Only a small nuance - you need quite a bit of oil so that the croutons do not turn out to be too fatty.
IMPORTANT: If you add a little more dry herbs during the frying process, the taste will only become richer and brighter. You can also add a few cloves of garlic if you like.
Of course, it must be passed through the garlic. After that, fry for a few more minutes.
This recipe will simply amaze the household and amaze your guests. Yes, the combination is unusual and every day, let's say, making such a dish will come out a little expensive. But it's worth it!
This salad will turn out to be a dietary dish thanks to shrimp. And avocado will give that necessary satiety and charge the body with many useful elements. Although a fruit such as avocado is considered an exotic food, it does not have a pronounced taste. It is a bit similar to unripe pumpkin and pear. More precisely, something similar between them.
What do we need:
IMPORTANT: Such a salad cannot be called Greek, it is considered only similar to it. Why? Yes, because there is no secret ingredient - cheese! . For dressing, you can use the easiest way based on olive oil and lemon juice.
Or you can use yogurt sauce. We indicated above how to prepare such a dressing. But we want to present a slightly simplified version.

Layered shrimp salad
This salad still lacks one important difference - the size of the cut. Yes, all components are cut relatively finely. But without fanaticism.
The secret of a delicious Greek salad is one - all products must be fresh. If it is planned to add meat or poultry, shrimp, then they need to be thermally processed and cooled for an hour or two before preparing the salad.
There are many recipes - with crackers, seafood, avocados and even fish. I will share only the main, basic options.
The first will be a classic Greek salad - a step-by-step recipe with a photo will simplify cooking completely. As a result, you get a rather tasty and bright snack dish that will decorate any table: both for a festive meal and for a family meal.
For salad, you need to take ripe tomatoes with fleshy pulp and thick skin, as well as salad peppers of bright colors. Cucumbers can be taken both salad and from the garden, but if necessary, cut off the skin. But it is best to take sweet white onions to add a rather mild spicy taste to the salad.
Of course, such a salad is impossible to imagine without olives, which add spice, and soft tender cheese, such as Feta.
As for the dressing, the easiest way to make a French sauce is with a mixture of oil (preferably cold-pressed olive), freshly squeezed lemon juice and spices - this will make the taste of the dish spicier, fresher and brighter.
Recipe Information
Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut into small pieces. (It is better to take varieties with fleshy pulp, then less juice will be released when cutting). 
Cut the washed pepper in half, remove the seeds and tail. Then we cut into strips.
We wash cucumbers. If they have bitterness, then be sure to peel them, and only then grind them, depending on the size of the fruit - whole circles, or cut them into halves and quarters.
Finely chop the peeled onion in half rings.
Carefully cut milk cheese into small cubes. (To prevent the cheese from crumbling, it is advisable to take a knife with a thin blade and periodically moisten it with water)
Pour the oil into the bowl, squeeze the juice from the lemon or lime. Mix the sauce and add salt, spices.
Arrange the ingredients on a platter in even rows and pour the sauce over them.
You can simply mix all the ingredients, season and serve in this form to the table - this will be a classic option. But in our case, the presentation is so original.
A gentle light dinner or a great appetizer for a festive table.
A somewhat Asian version of the Greek salad. A very fresh and juicy dish.

The secret to making a real Greek salad is a fairly large cut of vegetables. Read on for all the details!
Ingredients:
Cooking:
In a deep container, cut two tomatoes, two peeled cucumbers and one sweet pepper. The size of the cubes is at least 1.5 cm. Here we also chop the onion into half rings.
We tear the washed Romano lettuce or Chinese cabbage into pieces and combine with all the ingredients.
Pour the dish with juice from half a lemon, salt, pepper, season with spices and mix.
We divide 200 grams of feta into sticks 1-2 cm in size. The larger, the tastier! Top the salad with cheese and olives.
In addition, olive oil helps the body to better absorb the vitamins that are contained in a diet salad.
You can also replace the cabbage with fresh lettuce leaves, but this will be a completely different version of the Greek salad.
Which cheese is best for Greek salad is a question, the answer to which will always be different, depending on your own preferences.
Classically used feta - sheep's cheese with the addition of goat's milk.
Feta has a rich taste - salty, slightly tart, with a slight sourness.
It is stored in brine, which is also sold in the store, sometimes even diced and ready to be added to a salad.
It is undesirable to replace it, but if it is impossible to get this particular type of cheese, you can take feta cheese. It must first be soaked in mineral water for at least a couple of hours to get rid of the coarse salty taste.
Tip You can try to cook at home a delicate cheese for salads from Greek yogurt. To do this, a pound of fatty Greek yogurt without fillers needs to be shifted into many layers of folded gauze or dense fabric, tie the edges of the fabric, hang the bag over a container where excess moisture will drain. The minimum pressing time is 12 hours, the maximum is 5 days. It is optimal to withstand the bag for 3-3.5 days.
To use yogurt cheese in a Greek salad, you need to place the required size piece in olive oil with herbs and chopped garlic for a couple of hours. Then squeeze out excess oil and knead.
With fetax, Adyghe cheese, feta cheese, mozzarella and other similar cheeses, the salad will acquire its own special notes, but will be equally tasty.
Now the most common simple recipe for a modern Greek salad includes the following set of ingredients:
Such a list of products is in the technological map of the recipe of any serious institution. May also include leafy green or purple lettuce, iceberg lettuce, arugula and other salad greens.
For dressing, you need to take cold-pressed olive oil, add a small lemon juice (in approximately equal proportions) and chopped herbs to taste. Among the set of greens should be oregano - this is a must-have seasoning for Greek salad. In general, see the best examples of recipes at the link below.
To prepare this Greek salad with Beijing cabbage, you need to use:
On a note! If this rustic version of cheese is difficult to find or you don’t want to add it to an appetizer, you can take a feta variety.
Celery, herbs and red onions will add a special piquancy to this salad.
As a rule, Beijing cabbage is added to Greek salad if it is prepared for vegetarians or during fasting. It is also suitable for those who are anxiously following the figure. However, it will turn out to be a more satisfying dish if you add crackers and pieces of fried chicken to vegetables and cheese.
This recipe, made in the kitchen of a real chef, will make you feel the true taste of Greece and tell you how to cook everyone's favorite salad appetizer.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
First, we cut three tomatoes, two peeled cucumbers in the form of cubes. Place vegetables in a mixing bowl. We also send a lilac onion chopped into semi-rings and one hundred grams of cheese sticks here.
Romaine lettuce or Chinese cabbage, tear into pieces and mix in a common bowl. Next add a generous handful of pitted black olives.
For the sauce, squeeze the juice from the lemon half. Add about 60 ml. olive oil. Stir and pour dressing over salad.
Mix the dish with pieces of oregano greens. Serve the salad in portions, in separate flat plates.
If we talk about decorating a salad, then the Greeks do not use any decorations and consider it superfluous. But we are used to bringing a touch of originality and every time to surprise our guests and household members. In this case, the main thing is the work of fantasy, inspiration and a great desire. Also, time. Since any decoration takes a lot of time and requires a lot of endurance.

However, in addition to the recipe, you will also need simple cooking tips that will not only help not to spoil the delicate taste of the Greek dish, but will also contribute to its maximum improvement.
Given the natural feature of Greek feta cheese - to absorb all kinds of sauces, you can advise housewives to season the cheese (separately from the rest of the ingredients) with spicy mixtures, this will make the delicately salty product more aromatic and piquant.
However, if the sauce is oil-based, then keep the correct proportions of the ingredients, otherwise you can overdo it, then the cheese will turn out to be oily and tasteless!
In Greek cooking technology, the salad is dressed exclusively with olive oil. This product is very gentle, useful and does not have such a pronounced specific smell as vegetable oil.
As for sour cream and mayonnaise, everything is clear here - these products are very high in calories, and Greek salad is a light snack, so it is not recommended to use such fatty ingredients for dressing.

Cooking:
First, clean the squid from the films, rinse, dry. Cut the carcasses into rings about half a centimeter thick, if there are tentacles, just chop them.
Heat the oil, add the chopped onion, fry until soft, then immediately add the prepared squid, fry for five minutes - no more! Don't forget to stir the contents of the pan!
Pour wine into the squid, add chopped garlic to taste, simmer for another two minutes under a closed lid. Then transfer to a salad bowl, add lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped Chinese cabbage.
Before serving, the finished salad can be decorated with lemon zest or citrus slices. A lemon or lime will do here.
It should be noted right away that the classic recipe includes the use of not feta cheese, but feta cheese. Recall that this is also a traditional Greek drug, which is made from goat's or sheep's milk. But during the fasting period, the Greeks replace it with tofu soy cheese. But our compatriots (and not only) have slightly altered the real recipe, making the salad no less tasty.
To get started, here are a few tips and tricks:
Once again, we will make a reservation that we will give a classic recipe that is popular in our country. We will consider the traditional Greek salad a little later. By the way, cabbage gives not only additional taste, but also a significant volume to the dish. Yes, as they say, there will be much more.

Next steps:
Of course, the classic Greek salad is prepared with fresh lettuce leaves. But if you cook in the winter, then, in my opinion, Chinese cabbage is great. She, unlike her white-headed sister, retains juiciness and tenderness even in winter. Another traditional ingredient that we will replace is feta cheese. The reason is that now, firstly, it is difficult to buy real feta, and not a cheese product, and secondly, even if you find it, the cost “bites”. Therefore, for our version of the salad, we will take feta cheese - pickled cheese made from goat or sheep's milk. Bryndza itself has a rather specific taste, but in Greek it absolutely disappears. However, if you are still in doubt, then give preference to other pickled cheeses - Adyghe or Abkhazian - Suluguni. They are softer and less salty. Now that we have decided on some of the components of the salad, let's move on to its step-by-step recipe with a photo.
It is better to cook a salad for 1 time, because, after standing in the refrigerator, the vegetables will give juice, the dish will become “planty”, and the Chinese cabbage will become flabby.
