As if I needed more evidence that oregano is quite a superior herb. It's stupendous in spaghetti or salads and adds just the right amount of extra flavor to a slice of cheese pizza...and helps preserve ancient salad dressing.

I don't know that it would add a good flavor to this salad I found from 101 Cookbooks, but there's a fair amount of garlic in it for those of us who enjoy the Italian herbs / spices. The recipe calls for tofu, but if you do put it in be sure to cook it in something before adding it, otherwise it tastes somewhat like a damp cotton cloth. (Trust me on this one). Next time there will most likely be another veggie substituted for the tofu instead, perhaps something of the pepper family. Now that I look at the photo of the recipe, perhaps some red cabbage would do the trick - a little crunch with a light flavor. Perhaps bok choy would be another good alternative.

I need to rescind that recipe recommendation. After eating the leftovers, I got to experience a nasty stomach sensation. DUD.
