Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cups Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mix.
Stir in the minced garlic and Dijon mustard.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk everything together vigorously until the dressing is well emulsified, or if using a jar, seal and shake it thoroughly until combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary.
For best results, let the dressing sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
