Greek Olive oil and Lemon Dressing-Ladolemono
Description
The Greek Olive Oil and Lemon Dressing, known as Ladolemono, consists of freshly squeezed lemon juice combined with quality extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with dry oregano and sea salt. It is mixed thoroughly by whisking to emulsify the ingredients. Black pepper can be added optionally for a slight peppery note.
This dressing is versatile for enhancing the natural flavors of grilled or fresh seafood such as fish and shrimp, as well as for drizzling over steamed or grilled vegetables and leafy greens. It highlights freshness with its bright acidity and aromatic oregano notes, complementing rather than masking the main ingredient.
Practical tips include rolling the lemon on a countertop before juicing to maximize juice extraction and storing leftover dressing in a glass container refrigerated for up to one week. Shake well before use as the olive oil and lemon juice may separate. When used over freshly grilled fish, it’s best not to add additional sauces to keep the flavors pure and uncluttered.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
- ⅗ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano dry
- salt to taste, sea salt
- black pepper optional, freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the lemon juice in a bowl and whisk in the extra virgin olive oil. Add a pinch of salt (or to taste). Add a teaspoon of dry oregano. Whisk all together. Serve over grilled fish, seafood, grilled or steamed vegetables, greens, etc.
Notes
- Roll lemons firmly on the countertop before juicing to extract maximum juice.
- Store leftover dressing in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to one week and shake well before use.
- Use this dressing alone over freshly grilled fish to highlight delicate flavors without other sauces.
