Horta

(Χόρτα, Chorta, Horta vrasta)

Horta is a traditional salad consisting of steamed or boiled greens and weeds that are drizzled with lemon juice and olive oil. The greens usually include dandelion, vleeta, nettles, wild spinach, mustard greens, and chicory. The flavor of the salad can be more or less bitter, depending on the plant.


Horta is consumed throughout Greece, and it's especially popular during summer because it's refreshing and easy to prepare. Although it's commonly eaten on its own, horta can also be served as an accompaniment to fish or grilled meat dishes.
