Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups Red wine vinegar
- 1 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 6 tablespoons Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 cup Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 cup Feta cheese (crumbled, optional for creamy texture)
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or gallon-sized container, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk gently or stir with a large spoon to blend the liquids.
Add minced garlic and Dijon mustard to the mixture, whisking until the mustard is fully incorporated.
Stir in the honey, ensuring it dissolves completely into the mixture.
Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the liquid, followed by salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly.
If using crumbled feta cheese for a creamier texture, add it at this step and blend using an immersion blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the cup of water, whisking continuously. This helps to balance the acidity and adjust the consistency to your liking.
Transfer the dressing into a gallon-sized jar or airtight container. Shake or stir before each use as ingredients may naturally separate over time.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and enjoy this delicious Greek dressing on salads, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or lamb.
