It won't "go bad" in the sense of spoiling but it will lose its fresh taste.

Citrus deteriorates rapidly from the moment it's picked, its juice once
squeezed deteriorates by a hundred fold.

What prevents you from squeezing citrus as needed, not like it takes any great
effort. How'd you like being charged for "Fresh Squeezed OJ" at a restaurant,
only to find out it was poured from a Tropicana container.

Why not make up a batch of the salad dressing and just omit the lemon
juice. Then you can add fresh squeezed juice as you use the salad
dressing. I do this except that I use limes.

Not wise to keep oil and herbs without the acid component... anyways, somehow I
don't believe you.
