Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.
  2. While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue whisking vigorously until the dressing thickens slightly and becomes emulsified, creating a smooth, cohesive vinaigrette.

💡 Tips

  • For best results, use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • This dressing can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Whisk again before serving.
