  • For the "1905" Dressing:
  • Add the garlic, oregano, and white white vinegar to a small glass measuring cup and whisk until combined well. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk vigorously until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt & pepper (to taste). Best to make 24 hours in advance to allow flavors to meld.

When ready to serve, add the Romano cheese, squeeze the juice of the lemon over the salad, splash on the worcestershire sauce and then add the dressing and mix until well combined.
