In a blender, combine the olive oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and marjoram, and pulse for a few seconds to emulsify the oil. Stir in the garlic and cheese (if using).
For best results, let the dressing rest overnight in an airtight jar to allow the flavors to develop and meld. The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
If the oil solidifies, simply run the jar under warm water, or leave it out for an hour before serving.
