Transform your salads with this quick and flavorful Oil and Vinegar Dressing, a classic vinaigrette recipe that’s ready in just 5 minutes! Made with pantry staples like extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a touch of Dijon mustard, this homemade dressing strikes the perfect balance between tangy and savory. A hint of honey adds natural sweetness, while minced garlic and dried oregano infuse it with robust, aromatic depth. Simply shake or whisk the ingredients to create a creamy, emulsified dressing that pairs beautifully with fresh greens, roasted vegetables, or even as a marinade for proteins. This versatile, easy-to-make dressing is not only delicious but also a healthier alternative to store-bought options—perfect for elevating any meal!
In a clean jar or bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, finely minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
If using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the ingredients are fully combined and emulsified. If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together with a fork or whisk until blended.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or honey to balance flavors to your liking.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk again before serving if separation occurs.
