- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely minced)

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, orange juice, and white wine vinegar.
Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture.
Add the honey, thyme leaves, and minced rosemary, stirring to incorporate the herbs evenly.
Sprinkle in the kosher salt and black pepper, and whisk again to blend all the flavors.
Add the rainwater (or distilled water) to thin the dressing slightly, ensuring a light, pourable consistency.
