Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Basil, dried
• 0.25 teaspoon Parsley, dried
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until fully mixed.

Step 2

Gradually add the extra virgin olive oil to the vinegar and mustard mixture while whisking continuously. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette.

Step 3

Add honey, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture. Continue whisking until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the freshly ground black pepper, dried oregano, basil, and parsley. Stir well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed in the dressing.

Step 5

Finally, add the water to dilute the dressing slightly, whisking until smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement. Add more lemon juice or herbs if additional zest or flavor is needed.

Step 7

Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealable container or bottle. Shake well before serving to re-emulsify, as the oil and vinegar may separate over time.

Step 8

Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Always shake before using.
