Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 small garlic clove (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

In a small mixing bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Alternatively, if using a jar, seal it tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously, or add it to the jar and shake again until fully emulsified and creamy.
