How to Make Garlic Salad

  1. Tear or chop 6 cups of romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the lettuce to the bowl with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
  4. If desired, add 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes just before serving (to prevent excess moisture).
  5. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The salad tastes even better the next day!
