Kritiki Salada
Enjoy Kritiki Salada, or Cretan salad, a delicious Greek dish that’s all about freshness and crunchy texture. Perfect as a side or light meal.
Ingredients
Half a big cucumber, chopped
4-5 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 green pepper, thinly sliced
6 barley rusks, roughly crushed
50g feta, crumbled
A bit of grated mizithra or halloumi
1 tsp dried oregano
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Salt to taste
10 minutes to cook | Serves 1 portion as main or 2 as a starter
Alternatives
Typically, this salad would have mizithra, which is a soft goat cheese, but since that’s hard to find in the UK, you can use halloumi as a substitute.
Method
Add all the chopped veg to a bowl, along with the crushed barley rusks, crumbled feta and grated halloumi.
Add the seasonings and dressing and mix well. Let the dressing settle for a few minutes (the barley rusks will absorb the dressing) and serve.
