Classic 1905 Salad Dressing with Bold Garlic and Oregano

This Tampa legend packs serious punch — raw garlic mingles with earthy oregano and a splash of Worcestershire for depth you can't get from bottled dressings. Just five minutes of whisking creates an emulsified dressing that clings beautifully to crisp lettuce and transforms any salad into something memorable.

Ingredients

4 clovegarlic cloves, finely minced
1 tspdried oregano
1 tspWorcestershire sauce
½ cupextra-virgin olive oil
2 tbspwhite wine vinegar
2 tspfresh lemon juice
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Combine the minced garlic, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and fragrant — the oregano should be well distributed throughout, not clumped in spots.
Pour in the olive oil slowly while whisking constantly. Keep that whisk moving steadily as you drizzle — this gradual addition creates a proper emulsion that won't separate on your salad.
Whisk in the white wine vinegar and lemon juice until fully incorporated. Taste and season generously with salt and pepper — the dressing should be bold and well-balanced, with the garlic coming through clearly but not overwhelming.
