Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar until fully combined.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly to create a smooth and emulsified dressing.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of water to thin the dressing slightly, if desired, and whisk again until incorporated.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a pinch of salt or a splash more vinegar if needed.

Step 5

Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or airtight container. Shake well before each use.

Step 6

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving, as olive oil may solidify slightly in the fridge.
