In a bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced

garlic, Dijon mustard, maple syrup or honey, dried oregano, salt, and black

pepper.

Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or sweetness according to

your preference.

Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the

flavors to meld.

Give the dressing a final stir before serving. Drizzle it over salads, grilled

vegetables, or use it as a marinade for chicken or fish.

Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for

up to one week.
