Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel the garlic clove and finely mince or grate it using a microplane to ensure it blends smoothly into the dressing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Add the water to the mixture to help thin it out slightly, making it easier to coat your salad ingredients evenly.
Whisk the mixture vigorously if using a bowl, or shake the jar for about 30-60 seconds until the ingredients are well combined and emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or honey depending on your preference.
Use immediately to dress your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
