La Parma House Salad

Dear SOS: I love the house salad at La Parma, an Italian restaurant in Williston Park, N.Y. It is by far the best salad I have ever tasted.

Dear L.: Dominic Gregorio, chef and owner of La Parma, sent us the recipe. It’s a good crunchy starter for a pasta meal.
Tear the romaine leaves to the size desired and place in a serving bowl. Add the red onion, black and green olives, tomatoes and mozzarella.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Add the vinegar, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Add the pepper strips, artichoke hearts, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the warm dressing over the salad.
