Hi this is Karen for Expert Village we're going to measure 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and then we'll add our vinegar this is 1/4 of a cup of red wine vinegar. Two teaspoons of oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1 clove of garlic, I'm going to peel and press this garlic you can peel the garlic very easily by with the flat of a knife pushing down just to squash it. If you don't have a nice flat knife like that you can even use something like this to crush it a jelly jar anything thats sturdy that's not going to break. You can crush it and see how nicely the garlic peel comes off and you can chop this if you don't have a garlic press you can just chop it up. I'm going to use a garlic press just put it right into the press and squeeze it right out and then you can scrap off scrap it all in there nicely. The last ingredient is the olive oil and we're using 3/4 cups of olive oil, it wants to come out slowly here, now you can beat that with a fork like this to incorporate it. I like to pour it into a cruet or another nice tight container that's not going to leak and make sure we get all our salt, the salt tends to want to sit on the bottom, get all your salt in there. And put the cap on the cruet nice and tight something that's not going to leak and shake it up, it will help mystify the oil and the vinegar together and it'll hold together better and that's what your dressing should likes like. This is good to sit for about 1/2 an hour or so let the flavors melt the salt will soften up it's a dried aragono and the garlic and the vinegars you want it to all kind of sit and let the flavors melt.
