Notes

Fresh Lemon Juice - do not use bottle lemon juice! Keep some fresh lemons around and this easy citrus press and you'll have fresh lemon juice whenever you need it.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - use a good quality oil, not your everyday cooking olive oil. I like to try different brands that I find at Home Goods or Marshalls.

Oregano - in almost all cases I prefer fresh herbs over dried. Oregano is the one exception. I think the dried has so much more flavor.

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper - any kind of salt will do as long as it's not table salt, which tastes so flat. We keep a pepper grinder filled with black peppercorns right next to our salt bowl.

Note - this recipe uses a traditional 3 parts olive oil to 1 part lemon juice. You can use play with the ratio of you want a stronger lemon flavor.
