Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Filtered water
Instructions
In a small bowl or a measuring cup, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly to create an emulsion. This will help the dressing to blend and not separate.
Add the filtered water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. This will help reduce the intensity of the vinegar and oil while maintaining a rich flavor.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a little more vinegar or lemon juice.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before serving to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Store any leftover vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week.
