Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

Combine Ingredients:
  1. 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:
  1. Seal the jar tightly and shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds until all the ingredients are well mixed and emulsified.
Taste and Adjust:
  1. 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:
  1. 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.
