Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 1/4 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients:
- Place the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, basil, onion powder, pepper, salt, and Dijon mustard into a jar or a dressing container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Shake to Emulsify:
- Seal the jar tightly and shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds until all the ingredients are well mixed and emulsified.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Open the jar and taste the dressing. Adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preferences.
- Chill and Serve:
- For the best flavor, let the dressing sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the herbs and spices to infuse. Drizzle over salads, use as a marinade, or enjoy as a dip.
Notes
- Storage: Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use, as the oil and vinegar will naturally separate over time.
- Customizable: Add a pinch of sugar or honey if you prefer a slightly sweeter dressing. You can also swap red wine vinegar for lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for a different tang.
- Fresh Herbs Option: Use fresh oregano and basil instead of dried if you have them on hand. Double the amount of fresh herbs to replace dried.
- Serving Ideas: This dressing isn’t just for salads—use it as a marinade for chicken or fish, drizzle over roasted vegetables, or serve as a dip for fresh bread.
