This vibrant dressing requires extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh oregano. Toss it with baby greens for a cooling side dish salad. Or, use torn romaine lettuce and add tomato chunks, chopped cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced olives to make the salad more substantial.
