Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined and the honey is fully dissolved.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to create a smooth emulsion.
Add the dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
If you prefer a thinner consistency, whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water gradually until your desired texture is achieved.

Shake or stir well before serving. Drizzle over your favorite salads, roasted veggies, or use as a marinade for proteins.
