Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. This will help create a smooth and cohesive mixture.

Step 4

Add the tablespoon of water to slightly thin out the dressing, making it lighter and easier to drizzle over salads.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preferences.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a small jar or container with a lid for easy storage. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.

Step 7

Serve immediately drizzled over a fresh Greek salad or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
