Instructions

1. 1

   Make the vinaigrette. Whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes together in small measuring glass or salad dressing bottle. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. (I'm very generous with the amount of salt.)Cover and keep it stored in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Toss. Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl and pour your desired amount of vinaigrette over the top. Toss until the salad is coated to your liking. (Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, if needed.)

3. 3

   Serve. Serve immediately or cover the salad let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
