My Mom used to make this salad almost every night.

It is still one of my favorites.

2 or 3 ripe diced tomatoes

1 diced cucumber

1 diced onion

1 diced red peper

1 head of chopped romaine lettuce

One handful of arugula

2 or 3 cubed Italian rolls

Now this is when there isn’t any measuring.

4 shakes of garlic powder

4 shakes of garlic salt

8 shakes of oregano

about 1/2 cup red wine vinegar

3/4 cup olive oil and you have to use olive oil.

Whatever olives you have in the refrigerator.

Toss and make sure the bread is absorbing all the  juices.

Thats it!

Sometimes I add feta, goat or chunks of parmesan cheese but most of the time I keep it plain.

Just like Moms.
