How to make it

3 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Combine the fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper

    In a small bowl or a glass jar, combine the fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

  2. Slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil

    Slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil into the lemon mixture while whisking vigorously (or shake the jar forcefully) until the ingredients are emulsified and the sauce looks thick and creamy.

  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Use immediately while the emulsion is stable.

A little kitchen wisdom

Quality is key here; use the best extra virgin olive oil you can find. It is traditionally served over grilled fish (Tsipoura), boiled greens (Horta), or grilled chicken.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

You can prep the lemon mixture early, but add the oil and whisk right before serving for the best texture.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. The oil will solidify when cold; leave at room temperature for 15 minutes and shake well before use. Do not heat. Bring to room temperature naturally.
