Different Greek Salads

[paharo45]

I have noticed in Greek cookbooks that there are different salads in Greek cuisine. I just know two salads - village salad, and the salad that involves watermelon and feta cheese. But I did find more in a cookbook, so I want to make a list. I know Greek cuisine is very seasonal, so it makes sense - I just didn't think about it:

• Horiatiki - village salad
• Cabbage salad
• Watermelon feta salad
• Tomato and onion salad
• Americanized Greek salad with all the lettuce (I can't believe how many of my friends think this is the real Greek salad, but I thought I would put it on the list anyway...)
• I saw in an island cookbook a fresh salad with a bunch of wild greens, and I forgot the name of it

Horta - I know it's cooked but I still think of it as a salad

There's a salad in Thessaloniki that involves cabbage and other vegetables, like carrots - delicious

All great additions - can't believe I forgot about Dakos, Arugula, and Potato salad. And I agree, I think of Horta as a salad, come to think of it. I love the "village salad" best, but I do like to mix it up.

In Greece I saw all kinds of salads. People just make salad with what they have and what's in season - but there are a few types of salads that are constant, like village salad. The list looks good to me!
