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
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a mason jar with a lid, combine the extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Step 2

Add the Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic to the mixture.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the dried oregano and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing, making it lighter and easier to coat salads or marinate food.

Step 5

Whisk the mixture thoroughly if using a bowl, or secure the lid on the mason jar and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until well emulsified.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed (optional). Remember, this is a low-sodium recipe so no salt is included by default.

Step 7

Use immediately as a salad dressing or marinade, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.

Step 8

Shake or stir before each use as separation may occur due to the oil and vinegar.
