Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
If using garlic, mince it finely and add it to the bowl or jar along with the chopped fresh oregano (if desired).
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until emulsified, or shake the jar if using one, until the mixture is well combined.
Taste the latholemono and adjust the salt, lemon juice, or olive oil according to your personal preference.
Serve immediately as a dressing over salads, roasted or steamed vegetables, grilled seafood, or meats. This sauce can also be used as a marinade.
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.
