Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
Add the minced garlic to the bowl, ensuring it's finely minced to distribute evenly in the dressing.
Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and dried thyme, followed by the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour the extra-virgin olive oil into the mixture, whisking constantly to help emulsify the oil with the other ingredients.
Add the maple syrup to the mixture to balance the acidity of the vinegar and lemon juice.
Gently stir in the water to thin the dressing to your preferred consistency.
If using a mason jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, whisk in the bowl until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a little more salt or lemon juice as needed.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
