I made this flavoursome salad for the 2006 OZ/NZ Regional Tour. As Pietro says, "you can fine tune (it) to your taste". I used kalamata olives, red pepper and 3 cloves of garlic, and I added a generous handful of baby spinach leaves. The herbs and parmesan added a lovely blend of flavours.

I live in country Western Australia, 158 kms from the City of Perth. It is an agricultural area with Mediterranean type climatic conditions. Our family has always grown fresh produce so it is easy to use fruit and vegetables that are in season. My favourite cookbooks are anything written by Antonio Carluccio, Margaret Fulton, Stephanie Alexander,Jamie Oliver and just about any other?cookbook that is full of interesting and tempting recipes. I like to experiment with food and bring out the best of flavours in any dish that I prepare. Do I love homemade Italian food? How can you live without it? But then I love Indian,Asian, Middle Eastern,European cuisines and the good old Aussie food as well. Nothing beats a good barbecue with the family and friends.
