Ingredients
- 0.75 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly or shake the jar until all the ingredients are well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion. If using a jar, pour in the olive oil and shake vigorously to combine.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors as desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake or stir well before serving.
