Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 2

Using a whisk, mix the ingredients until well combined and the honey has dissolved completely.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the dressing, ensuring it remains combined and doesn't separate.

Step 4

Once all the olive oil has been incorporated, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the dressing and whisk again until smooth and well-integrated.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing into a jar or airtight container for storage.

Step 7

Shake well before using if the dressing has been stored, as natural separation may occur. It can be refrigerated for up to one week.
