Tips and questions

Should Greek salad have lettuce?: No. The traditional horiatiki is just tomato, cucumber, onion, pepper, olives and feta; lettuce waters it down.
Can I make it ahead?: Chop the vegetables up to a few hours ahead, but add salt, oil and feta just before serving so the tomatoes don’t go watery.
What can I use instead of feta?: A firm, salty sheep’s or goat’s cheese works best; for a vegan version use marinated tofu with lemon and oregano.
