Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until emulsified and smooth.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine thoroughly.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings as needed. If the dressing feels too tangy, add a pinch of honey. If it's too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Shake well before each use.
Enjoy your Everything Dressing drizzled over salads, grilled vegetables, or used as a marinade for proteins!
