Ingredients

• 120 ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 60 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic cloves, finely minced (optional)
• 1 tsp Fresh oregano, finely chopped (optional)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil and fresh lemon juice.

Step 2

If using garlic, mince it finely and add it to the bowl or jar along with the chopped fresh oregano (if desired).

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until emulsified, or shake the jar if using one, until the mixture is well combined.

Step 5

Taste the latholemono and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or olive oil according to your personal preference.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a dressing over salads, roasted or steamed vegetables, grilled seafood, or meats. This sauce can also be used as a marinade.

Step 7

If not using immediately, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake or whisk again before serving as the olive oil may solidify slightly when chilled.
