Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic clove and finely mince or grate it using a microplane to ensure it blends smoothly into the dressing.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Step 3
Add the water to the mixture to help thin it out slightly, making it easier to coat your salad ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Whisk the mixture vigorously if using a bowl, or shake the jar for about 30-60 seconds until the ingredients are well combined and emulsified.
Step 5
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or honey depending on your preference.
Step 6
Use immediately to dress your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
