Ingredients:

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best!)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1–2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

 

Instructions:

1. In a jar or bowl, combine vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and all seasonings.

2. Slowly whisk in the olive oil (or shake everything in a sealed jar).

3. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more honey if it’s too tangy, or more salt if it’s flat.

4. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Shake well before each use.
