For additional flavor inspiration, we merged two Mediterranean classics, Greek horiatiki and the shopska salata of the Balkan countries.

Don’t get me wrong, I love horiatiki salata: It’s so refreshing on a hot summer’s day, it’s actually thirst-quenching.

A Greek horiatiki salad of tomatoes and cucumbers might be dressed with lashings of olive oil, tossed with olive-oil-toasted croutons and topped with olive oil-seared slices of halloumi cheese.

Besides the watermelon salad I so enjoyed, the horiatiki Greek is a must.

We liked the horiatiki salad, a traditional Greek offering with cubes of cucumber, tomato, onions, green peppers, capers, olives and feta.
