This recipe was given to me years ago at a Boca Raton
restaurant. The special components are the “two kinds” of
oil with acidic and green elements - and the mint - not
normally found in a greek salad, adds a delightful high note.
The quantities below will serve 4 people.

* remember that dried herbs can be more concentrated than the fresh sort but the
flavors will be more defined with fresh herbs - especially mint.
