Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a mason jar with a lid, combine the extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Add the Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic to the mixture.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano and ground black pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing, making it lighter and easier to coat salads or marinate food.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly if using a bowl, or secure the lid on the mason jar and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until well emulsified.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed (optional). Remember, this is a low-sodium recipe so no salt is included by default.
Use immediately as a salad dressing or marinade, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
Shake or stir before each use as separation may occur due to the oil and vinegar.
