Greek salad ((ギリシア語:χωριάτικη σαλάτα) (:xorˈjatiki saˈlata) "rustic salad" or θερινή σαλάτα (:θeriˈni saˈlata) "summer salad") is a salad in Greek cuisine. Greek salad is made with pieces of tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, onion, feta cheese, and olives (usually Kalamata olives), typically seasoned with salt and oregano, and dressed with olive oil. Common additions include green bell pepper slices or berries of capers (especially in the Dodecanese islands). The term "Greek salad" can also be used in North America, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom to refer to a lettuce salad with Greek-inspired ingredients, dressed with oil and vinegar. In these countries, the true Greek salad, when encountered, may be called by the Greek term ''horiatiki'' or by such terms as "country salad", "peasant salad", or "village salad", to avoid confusion. Lettuce, tomatoes, feta, and olives are the most standard elements in an American-style Greek salad, but cucumbers, peperoncini (pickled hot peppers), bell peppers, onions, radishes, ''dolmades'', and anchovies/sardines are common. In Detroit for example, a Greek salad also includes beets, and in the Tampa Bay Area it often includes potato salad. Rather than simple olive oil and vinegar, as in a normal Greek lettuce salad, prepared dressings containing various herbs and seasonings are frequently employed. This style of Greek salad is rarely encountered in Greece. Various other salads have also been called "Greek" in the English language in the last century, including some with no apparent connection to Greek cuisine. A 1925 Australian newspaper described a Greek Salad of boiled squash dressed with sour milk; a 1934 American newspaper described a mayonnaise-dressed lettuce salad with shredded cabbage and carrots.〔(''The Daily Times'' (Rochester and Beaver, Pennsylvania), March 13, 1934 )〕 == Other salads in Greece and Cyprus == There are many other salads in Greek cuisine. These include: the above-mentioned ''marouli'' (lettuce) salad with lettuce, onion and dill; cabbage salad ("slaw") (''Lahanosalata''), dressed with olive oil and lemon juice and garlic; beetroot salad (''pantzarosalata''), boiled and sliced beetroots, sometimes with beet greens as well, dressed with olive oil and red wine vinegar; ''roka'' (rocket) salad, arugula dressed with olive oil and red wine vinegar or lemon juice, possibly including anchovies; ''patatosalata'', potato salad with olive oil, finely sliced onions, lemon juice or vinegar; ''revithosalata'', chickpea salad; and ''maintanouri'', parsley salad, usually used as a condiment. ''Cypriot salad'', native to the island of Cyprus, consists of finely chopped tomatoes, capers, cucumbers, onions, flat-leaf parsley, feta cheese, dressed with olive oil and lemon or red wine vinegar, closely resembles the "Greek salad" of Greece. Some spreads and dips found in the meze of Greek cuisine are also regarded as part of the group of "salads" by Greek-speakers, such as ''melitzanosalata'', ''taramasalata'' and tzatziki. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「greek salad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
