Directions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the finest extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar you can find! Add white wine vinegar, oregano, and fresh garlic, then season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large beautiful salad bowl, combine romaine, arugula, garbanzo beans, bell pepper, red onion, tomato, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, and sliced olives. Pour dressing over and toss gently to coat. Serve with pasta and, if you wish, red wine.
Notes
You can substitute pepperoncini (pickled green mild chili peppers) for the artichoke hearts. Drain, rinse well under cold running water, and pat dry before using.
