Ingredients

• 0.75 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl in a thin, steady stream while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. This ensures the oil and vinegar blend smoothly.

Step 3

Once emulsified, whisk in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to add brightness to the dressing.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a pinch more salt, a touch of honey, or a splash of vinegar depending on your preference.

Step 5

Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle with a lid for storage. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.

Step 6

Enjoy the Mount Vernon Vinaigrette over fresh greens, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or seafood.
