Preparation:
To make the vinaigrette, whisk the vinegar, basil, garlic, and oregano together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the greens, celery, tomato, cucumber, fennel, onion, and olives together in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss again. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, if using. Serve immediately. Dip a piece of lettuce into vinaigrette to taste and judge the seasoning by itself, the vinaigrette will seem too sour.
