Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Start by mincing the garlic clove finely. You can use a garlic press or finely chop it with a knife.
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Add the minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the dressing mixture.
Whisk all the ingredients together in the bowl or shake the jar vigorously until everything is well combined and emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Allow the dressing to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Give the dressing a good shake or stir just before serving. Drizzle over salads or use as a marinade for vegetables or proteins.
Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator in an airtight container or jar for up to one week. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate.
