  3. To prepare vinaigrette: In a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, shallots, fennel, pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk canola oil into the mixture to form an emulsification.
  4. Add vinaigrette to salad. Toss and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavours to develop.
