Steps

Rinse the fresh oregano leaves while they're still on the stem, then pat them dry or use a lettuce spinner. Next, carefully remove the leaves from the stalks (for detailed instructions, refer to the above article). If the leaves are large, give them a rough chop, but be careful not to make them too fine.
In a mixing bowl, add fresh oregano leaves, finely diced onion, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and toss the salad together.

We ate this salad growing up. But never had it on toast or thought about doing that. That's a great idea that I will do now.
