Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely using a knife or a garlic press.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk together until the mustard is completely integrated into the liquid.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This will help to emulsify the dressing, giving it a creamy texture.
Add the black pepper and dried oregano to the vinaigrette. Stir well to incorporate the seasoning throughout the dressing.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more pepper or a little more honey for sweetness, depending on personal preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a glass jar or airtight container for storage. Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
Refrigerate the vinaigrette if not using immediately. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
