Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard.

Step 3

Add the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the mixture.

Step 4

Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. The dressing should emulsify slightly, giving it a creamy texture.

Step 5

Add the water to the dressing and continue whisking to combine. This will lighten the mixture and make it easier to pour.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 7

Once the flavors are balanced to your liking, transfer the dressing to a clean jar with a lid or a small serving pitcher.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld, although this step is optional.

Step 9

Shake or stir before using to ensure ingredients are well mixed. Drizzle over your favorite salads just before serving.
