Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon (~4 tbsp juice, 1 tsp zest)
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, minced (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Method
Mix
- Add all ingredients except olive oil to a jar or small bowl.
- Whisk or shake to combine.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking (or add to jar and shake vigorously) until emulsified.
- Taste — adjust lemon, salt, or honey to balance.
Storage
- Fridge: Up to 1 week in a sealed jar.
- Olive oil will solidify when cold — let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes and shake before using.
Variations
- Simpler — skip the lemon zest and oregano; just lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dijon, garlic, salt.
- Balsamic — replace red wine vinegar with balsamic for a sweeter, darker dressing.
