Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Using a whisk, mix the ingredients until well combined and the honey has dissolved completely.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the dressing, ensuring it remains combined and doesn't separate.
Once all the olive oil has been incorporated, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the dressing and whisk again until smooth and well-integrated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the dressing into a jar or airtight container for storage.
Shake well before using if the dressing has been stored, as natural separation may occur. It can be refrigerated for up to one week.
