The most interesting thing is that originally in Greece itself this salad was called "Horiatiki" (or Horiatiki), and is translated from Greek as a rustic salad. It was made "Greek" by tourists who really liked it in Greece, and they dubbed it that way. Now in all tourist taverns it is called "Greek salad", but its true name can be found only in the Greek hinterland.
Greek salad is a banal "rustic" mixture of vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, peppers, i.e. everything that grows in a Greek vegetable garden. But the addition of large olives (and necessarily with a stone), Feta cheese and of course olive oil makes this mixture a "Greek salad"! Plus the obligatory sourness in the form of lemon sauce or balsamic (or wine) vinegar.
Greek salad is always served unmixed and unflavored, just fresh chopped vegetables and a whole piece of cheese on top.
Our salad has acquired a lot of changes, but it does not get worse from this.
