Rub a wooden salad bowl with a cut clove of garlic. Add chopped lettuce,
chopped tomatoes and cut or sliced up green olives, as much of each ingredient as
pleases you. Make the dressing by combining equal amounts of corn oil and
lemon juice (or maybe a little less lemon juice) to taste. Add the juice
from the olives. Pour over salad and toss well. Add a little salt and
pepper and you'll think you're dining outdoors at the Hoffbrau.

NOTES : From the recipe: " Everyone who has lived in Austin has eaten at
the Hoffbrau. Yes, thank goodness, it is still there!!!. And, everyone
loves the Hoffbrau Salad. Ellie Rucker was kind enough many years ago to
publish this in the Austin paper. . we have friends both here and in
Colorado who have been most grateful!! I've changed it a bit... but
basically, this is it." [Combs uses olive oil instead of vegetable oil]
