For a more intense garlic flavor, let the crushed garlic sit in the vinaigrette for 10-15 minutes before tossing with the salad. Feel free to add other vegetables like grilled zucchini or artichoke hearts. If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar can be used as a substitute. For a creamier dressing, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the vinaigrette.
