Horiatiki (Greek Salad) skewers
Horiatiki, the Greek Salad, is an iconic dish. Savoured by many around the world, it’s a well known and comforting mix of fresh tomatoes, cucumber and tangy feta cheese.
Serve on sticks for an easy to eat upgrade to this party classic.
WE MADE THIS!
You’d think threading some salad onto sticks would be easy but…
If you can stretch for a good feta, do it. Some of those cheaper ones break apart at the slightest touch, and not in the good crumbly kinda way. Lesson learned.

This was our favourite recipe – there’s no raw onion which is always polite at a party, and the dressing is livened up with red wine vinegar.
