Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic, honey, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice to the vinegar-mustard mixture.

While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture. This will help emulsify the dressing and ensure it is well combined.
