Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine just before serving. MAKES TWO SERVINGS
***********************
There are lots of possible additions to this basic salad, but keep in mind that it should remain a simple and light salad to accompany a meal.
Toss in some garlic-rubbed croutons or a handful of chopped toasted nuts (like walnuts, pine nuts or hazelnuts), pitted black olives, etc.

This is my favorite way to make a salad! Thanks for your great recipes :-)
