HERBED TOSSED SALAD

1 cup olive oil

1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt, optional
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp minced fresh parsley
Mix salad greens
Cucumber, sliced thin
Red bell pepper, cut into strips

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the first seven ingredients; shake well to thoroughly combine.

In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, sliced cucumber, and bell pepper.

Drizzle amount of dressing desired over salad; toss to coat.

Yield: Approximately 1 1/3 cups dressing and salad as desired.

Note: Unused dressing should be kept in the refrigerator; shake well before using.

Note: I suggest diabetics omit the salt or cut it at least in half.
