Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Start by peeling the garlic clove. Mince it finely or use a garlic press to make the process easier and efficient.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. Whisk these ingredients together until they're well incorporated.
Add the honey to the vinegar-mustard mixture. Mix thoroughly until the honey is dissolved completely.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl while whisking continuously. This helps in emulsifying the dressing and ensures a smooth consistency.
Add the minced garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and dried oregano to the vinaigrette. Whisk all the components together to blend the flavors.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixture, ensuring that no seeds fall into the bowl. Stir the lemon juice into the dressing to add freshness and brightness.
Taste your vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more Dijon mustard for tanginess or a touch more honey for sweetness, as preferred.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage. Shake well before using to ensure the dressing is well-mixed.
Use as a salad dressing or marinade and enjoy your low sodium burst of flavor!
