Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 3 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (for yogurt variation)
• 0.5 cup Fresh tomato (blended, for tomato variation)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado (mashed, for avocado variation)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk or shake the jar until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and emulsified.

Step 3

Add water and whisk again to thin out the vinaigrette to a pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

For the Yogurt Variation: Stir in plain Greek yogurt and whisk until smooth and creamy. Optionally, add more water or lemon juice to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5

For the Tomato Variation: Blend the fresh tomato into a puree, then whisk it into the base vinaigrette. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

For the Avocado Variation: Mash the avocado until smooth, then whisk it into the base vinaigrette. Add additional water or olive oil if the dressing is too thick.

Step 7

Store any leftover dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before using as ingredients may separate.
