Ingredients
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely using a knife or a garlic press.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk together until the mustard is completely integrated into the liquid.
Step 3
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This will help to emulsify the dressing, giving it a creamy texture.
Step 4
Add the black pepper and dried oregano to the vinaigrette. Stir well to incorporate the seasoning throughout the dressing.
Step 5
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more pepper or a little more honey for sweetness, depending on personal preference.
Step 6
Transfer the vinaigrette to a glass jar or airtight container for storage. Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
Step 7
Refrigerate the vinaigrette if not using immediately. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
