Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for convenience.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. This will help create a smooth and cohesive mixture.
Step 4
Add the tablespoon of water to slightly thin out the dressing, making it lighter and easier to drizzle over salads.
Step 5
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preferences.
Step 6
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or container with a lid for easy storage. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
Step 7
Serve immediately drizzled over a fresh Greek salad or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
