my favourite lazy recipe ever. measurements aren't really necessary cause you make this with whatever you've got lying around. it's really easy to improvise, too. my parents always add beef strips to it. 1 pot of cooked pasta chopped cherry or grape tomatoes chopped spinach or lettuce finely chopped parsley pitted, roughly chopped kalamata olives hot eggplant strips (an antipasto that you buy in a jar or at the deli - they're awesome) chopped green onion or very, very finely chopped/sliced red onion chopped cucumber chopped bell pepper dressing: 1 or 2 cloves of garlic (depending on your taste) 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp dijon mustard 1/4 - 1/3 cup olive oil pinch of salt to make the dressing, pound the garlic and salt into a pulp with a mortar and pestle. then mix in vinegar and mustard, and gradually whisk in olive oil. dressing should become thick. mix all ingredients together, toss with dressing, et voila!
