Ingredients

For the Salad Dressing:
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup canola oil
2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 teaspoons dried oregano
3 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves chopped fine*
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
For the Salad
8 cups lettuce romaine is traditional but I have tried a variety of different lettuces
3 plum tomatoes cut in wedges (I actually use whatever kind of tomatoes look the freshest and prettiest at the market)
1 English cucumber sliced or 1 regular cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced
1 small red onion thinly sliced
1 green yellow or red bell pepper (seeded and cut into rings or sliced)
¾ cup cannellini beans
¾ cup tiny potatoes cooked till tender and cooled if you don't have tiny potatoes just diced up a large potato and cook till tender, it just won't be as cute :)
¾ cup feta cheese crumbled (or to taste)
¼ cup kalamata olives halved

Notes

Sometimes I make this salad without the lettuce. Particularly when the tomatoes are fresh from the garden, I slice them in wedges and combine with whatever other vegetables I have along with the Feta and olives. I might add fresh basil and fresh oregano if I have it.Artichoke hearts and different colored peppers are fun in this salad too. Honestly, the sky is the limit! Have fun with it!
*The mint leaves are optional, but they add a delicious, unique, authentic flavor to the dressing, not minty at all!
