Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar or honey
- 2 tablespoons Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and sugar or honey.
Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while continuing to whisk constantly to ensure emulsification. The dressing should begin to thicken slightly as the oil incorporates.
Optional: If you're using feta cheese, crumble it finely and stir it into the dressing for a creamy texture and added flavor.
Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or a dressing bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake well before using.
Use generously on salads, as a marinade for meats or vegetables, or as a dip for crusty bread.
