For best results, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and Dijon mustard to your preference. The marinade can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a more substantial salad, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas. If you don't have Kalamata olives, black olives are a suitable substitute. This dish is best served cold, allowing the flavors to fully develop.
