Greek salad, χωριάτικη σαλάτα (IPA: [xorˈjatiki saˈlata]) ‘village salad’, is a salad made in the Greek fashion and is one of the standard components of a traditional Greek meal. True Greek salad is made of sliced or chopped tomato, cucumber, bell pepper and red onion, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and oregano and dressed with olive oil. Common additions include feta cheese, capers and kalamata olives. Lettuce is rarely used in a Greek salad. A lettuce salad (called μαρούλι, “lettuce”, rather than “salad”) is distinct, consisting of lettuce, scallions, and fresh dill, and dressed with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice.
