Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and mincing one garlic clove and finely chopping one small shallot. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped shallot to the mixture and stir well.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously, or if using a jar, tightly close the lid and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper, and add the dried oregano.

Step 6

To adjust the consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired thickness is achieved.

Step 7

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust any seasoning if necessary. Remember that this is a low sodium recipe, so avoid adding salt. The other flavors should compensate for the lack of sodium.

Step 8

Once prepared, the vinaigrette can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature and shake or whisk again before serving.
