Greek sala, χωριάτικη σαλάτα (IPA: [xorˈjatiki saˈlata]) — 'village salad', is a salad made in the Greek fashion and is a common component of a traditional Greek meal. It is one of the most popular salads in Greece and Cyprus as it is light, refreshing and easy to make and especially popular during the summer months. True Greek salad is essentially a tomato salad made of sliced or chopped tomatoes with a few slices of cucumber, and red onion, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and oregano and dressed with olive oil. Common additions include feta cheese, bell peppers, capers, anchovies, sardines and kalamata olives. Lettuce and vinegar are not used in a Greek salad.
