1 can black olives
1 jar petrocini peppers (Greek peppers)

1
First I wash each of the following:
2
lettuce, tomatoes, green pepper and celery stalks.
3
In a large or small bowl I choose to start with the romaine lettuce instead of iceberg because there are more vitamins in romaine than iceberg.
4
I select a few leaves, depending on the size bowl I use and then proceed to cut each lettuce leaf into 3 or 4 large pieces, then I cut my tomatoes in half and then into half again (quarters) into 3 or 4 pieces.
5
Next comes the green pepper from which I remove the stem, seeds and veins.
6
Cut the green pepper in half and into as many as possible strips; cut into bite-size pieces.
7
With cucumber I cut down until I start seeing seeds.
8
I stripe my cucumber and then cut in half or in whole pieces.
