Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove to release its flavor.
In a small mixing bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice.
Add the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the liquid mixture.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until well emulsified. Alternatively, if using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 1 minute until the dressing is evenly combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust according to your preference by adding a little more vinegar for acidity, honey for sweetness, or salt for seasoning.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad, or store the dressing in the jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
