• * Salt to taste
• * Optional: capers, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• Steps
• * Put the tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, and onion in a wide bowl.
• * Add the olives and a pinch oh salt ( go easy, since the feta and olives are salty).
• Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently.
• Place the slab of feta on top and sprinkle with oregano.
• * Finish with another drizzle of olive oil.
• Serve right away with crusty bread to soak up the juices.

Tip: A real horiatiki has no lettuce, and the feta is served whole rather than crumbled. Use the ripest tomatoes you can find,as they make the dish
