6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and oil. Stir in the oregano and pepper to taste. Set aside.
When ready to serve: In a large bowl lightly toss the lettuce with some of the dressing (I serve the dressing on the side and let everyone put it on their own salads so it doesn't get wilted). Divide the lettuce among 4 salad bowls. Scatter the olives, cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and peppers over the top of the greens. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.
