  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the juice of one fresh lemon, 1-2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly, taking care not to over-mix.
