Thirst-Quenching Salad Supper

Ohh, what a long afternoon of whiskey and beer and horse racing and betting and hot, hot sunshine will do to you. A giant crystal decanter of cold water couldn't begin to quench my thirst, so I made a salad of all sorts of delicious, fresh and watery items--all conveniently leftover from the day's pan bagna.

Olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, basil, a bit of hard-boiled egg, some olive oil and salt and pepper... a juicy, delicate big salad that hydrated and satiated. "Oh! 'Ello, Summah!"
