Steps:
- Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the salad to allow the flavors to meld.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before serving. The longer it sits the better the flavor.
