Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture together or close the jar and shake it thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
Gradually add the extra-virgin olive oil to the mixture while whisking constantly. This will help emulsify the dressing and create a smooth texture. Alternatively, pour the olive oil into the jar and shake vigorously until well blended.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance flavors to your preference.
Use immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
