Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Add the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the mixture.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. The dressing should emulsify slightly, giving it a creamy texture.
Add the water to the dressing and continue whisking to combine. This will lighten the mixture and make it easier to pour.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Once the flavors are balanced to your liking, transfer the dressing to a clean jar with a lid or a small serving pitcher.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld, although this step is optional.
Shake or stir before using to ensure ingredients are well mixed. Drizzle over your favorite salads just before serving.
