Recipe Notes
This is a simple but deceptively complex salad that will go well with fish or chicken. You can use bottled roasted red peppers (in water) for the dressing to save the step of roasting the red peppers and it will still be fantastic. The key is fresh oregano to give it that lush flowery flavor. Perfect for a holiday picnic or barbecue.
