Turkish Chopped Salad image

A delicious salad my family enjoys to eat on its own or as an accompaniment to mix into rice dishes such as recipe#196203 or recipe#387395. Originally posted fro Ramadan Tag, a variation on a dish from Gaziantep, Turkey, which is sometimes called Women's Salad! Modified from a recipe by Musa Dagdeviren on http://www.foodandwine.com.

3 medium garlic cloves, minced (I use less per preference here)
2 tablespoons unrefined extra virgin olive oil
