Ingredients
- 2/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- juice of half lemon
- 1 cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Stir to combine.
- Drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Use dried herbs - they're stronger and last longer than fresh herbs (which can brown quickly and need double the amount)
- Boost the flavor with 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or make it creamy by adding 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Garlic prep matters - mince very finely or use a garlic press to avoid chunks; add honey if dressing is too tangy
- Mix smart - add spices to vinegar first, then oil, so everything combines properly
- Serve at room temperature - olive oil can solidify when too cold, so let it warm up before serving
- Toss in rice - one or two tablespoons to plain rice, quinoa, farro, and pasta adds a ton of flavor and makes for an easy side dish.
