I love America's Test Kitchen. I love everybody on the show. I also love all the recipes, and how they are prepared. I also love hearing Julia say ho ho ho when she is happy about food that looks good. She makes it so exciting to get to taste the new recipe, no matter what it is. I am so glad that I can watch America's Test Kitchen on my television, and on my telephone. I love you guys! Keep up the good work!!

Don’t drain the tomatoes with the salt, leave the juice of all the vegetables mix with the olive oil and it will create a nice emulsion of flavour that you can dip your bread afterwards (papara) best part of the salad.

My favorite salad. It looks so delicious. You can't go wrong with "America's Test Kitchen".

Always love this combination of vegetables in just about any dressing. Something my mom always had on the table in the summer time, we called it thunder and lightning, seriously. Brings back memories. This dish goes under many guises and names. It looks to me it's one of those universal recipes of making something out of what you have that's easy, nutritious and delicious. This variation looks yummy.

Horiatiki means village style, and honestly, all Greek food is hearty (good thing)

As a greek person, I'll say this is more or less spot on. I would personally substitute green peppers for some lettuce, but that's just personal preference. I can also say, we don't bother premixing the vinegar, salt and oregano. We just bring the salad to the table unseasoned and we season and mix it right before serving. As a kid I would always want to be the one who does the mixing and now my nieces like to do it :P

I made this last night because it was a really hot day, and it turned out really delicious. My boyfriend is vegan, so I used slabs of homemade vegan feta. I also used heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market. Even though I salted them for 30 mins in a colander, they still produced a lot of liquid in the bowl. Next time I'll try using a mess strainer instead, but I'll definitely be making this again real soon. Thanks once again, ATK!

We live on this salad in the summer. Warning: don’t make it with supermarket tomatoes, they don’t do it justice. Also we don’t drain the tomatoes. To each their own but the juice that accumulates at the bottom with some crusty bread is the best part. We called it the ζουμι

@myrdraal2001 Жыл бұрын

I'm surprised that an American actually said χωριάτικη σαλάτα (village salad) correctly. You definitely don't need to drain and salt the tomatoes. As a matter of fact just make the entire salad in one bowl and save yourself the dishwashing. You're wasting a lot of the pepper cutting up the bell pepper that way. A red onion doesn't have the sulfuric punch of a white so you don't need to soak it at all. Don't make the dressing on the side. Just add it to the top of everything. Your olives look old and mushy. They don't need to be pitted. Why waste yet another serving dish? Just serve it in the bowl. With all of the salt you've added adding this feta on top will just make it too salty, unless your feta is the nasty imitation domestic feta not made in Hellas. The juice from the salad is delicious and if not eaten with a crusty piece of bread dunked right in to the dressing can be drunk as is.
