User Review:
This dressing was good until I added the oregano. The oregano was
overpowering and it doesn't seem to go well with the orange, at least
in this application.

I am going to try this again without oregano. Maybe some other herb
would be better.

FYI, I am not a picky eater and usually like oregano.
