In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and Dijon mustard.
Add the minced garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the vinegar mixture.
Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil.
Pour in the water to slightly dilute the mixture, making it less sharp.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and the vinaigrette is smooth and slightly emulsified. If using a jar, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as preferred.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container or refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to one week.
Shake or stir the vinaigrette before each use to mix any settled ingredients.
