Easy Italian Dressing
Description
The Easy Italian Dressing recipe combines extra-virgin olive oil with red or white wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice for acidity, sweetened gently with honey. Dried oregano, basil, and thyme add Mediterranean herb notes, while minced garlic and Dijon mustard deepen the flavor and help emulsify the dressing. A pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper rounds out the seasoning. Whisked together quickly, this dressing forms a smooth, well-blended vinaigrette easy to adjust and store. Ideal for drizzling over fresh greens or using as a light marinade, it can be refrigerated up to one week, allowing flavors to meld and intensify slightly over time.
