Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil choose a fruity, cold-pressed brand
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for milder tang
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard adds creaminess and helps emulsify
  • 1 garlic clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped oregano leaves
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • dash honey or agave if you like a hint of sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Combine vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to mellow the sharpness of the garlic.
  • Add Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, oregano, and honey. Whisk until smooth and pale.
  • Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.
  • Adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.
  • Transfer the dressing to a jar with a lid and shake well before each use.
  • Drizzle over mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese for a classic Greek salad.
  • Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks for enhanced flavors.

Notes

Let minced garlic rest in vinegar to mellow its sharpness. Use a balloon whisk or mason jar for emulsification. Adjust seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
