Instructions
Chop the Vegetables
Cut the tomatoes into large wedges and slice the cucumber into thick half moon chunks. Kids can help with this step using a child safe knife to build their cooking confidence.
Assemble the Salad
Place the tomatoes and cucumbers in a large salad bowl then scatter the kalamata olives evenly throughout. This colorful arrangement gets kids excited about eating their vegetables.
Add the Feta
Crumble or slice the feta cheese and place it on top of the vegetables without mixing it in too much. The large chunks of feta are traditional in Greek horiatiki and kids love the creamy pieces.
Dress and Serve
Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle dried oregano over everything. Serve immediately so the vegetables stay fresh and crunchy which kids enjoy much more.
