Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 large garlic minced, clove
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In an 8-ounce mason jar (or larger) combine the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Secure the lid and shake well until the dressing looks emulsified.
- Taste the dressing and adjust any flavoring as you see fit, such as adding an extra pinch of salt or an extra clove of minced garlic. Drizzle the dressing over your favorite vegetables for a refreshing salad.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. This dressing may thicken when chilled, so set it on the counter for 20 minutes to let it come to room temperature again. Shake well before using.

Notes
- Each serving provides approximately two scant tablespoons of dressing, suitable for nutritional estimations.
- If fresh lemon juice is not available, use an extra tablespoon of red wine vinegar instead to preserve the dressing's acidity.
- Store the dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; it may thicken when cold, so let it sit at room temperature and shake before use.
- Recipe updates in February 2024 refined the preparation while keeping the flavor very similar to the original version.
