What a wonderful salad. You just can't beat the combination of tomatoes and olives (I used a combination of green and black olives). Yummmmm. Thanks for sharing, Syrah. This is the BEST!!!

Wonderful as it, decadent with some cubed mozzarella. We have even thrown in some grilled shrimp and used as our summer spaghetti suce.
