I add more lemon juice and a bit less garlic and leave out basil and oregano (tbh, I think they'd be swamped by th e garlic, lemon and vinegar anyway), but if you start with that give it a taste and add as required. It's a real cinch to make and once you've had it homemade you won't go back to buying it.
