Equipment

mason Jar or any jar. For shaking and storing the dressing.
Measuring Spoons For consistency.
Citrus Juicer For fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients

½ cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsps (30 ml) red wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp (15 g) Dijon mustard
1 tsp (5 g) minced garlic
½ tsp (1 g) dried oregano leaves
¼ tsp (1 g) table salt or to taste
1 pinch black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to a mason jar and secure the lid tightly.
½ cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsps (30 ml) red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tbsp (15 g) Dijon mustard, 1 tsp (5 g) minced garlic, ½ tsp (1 g) dried oregano leaves, ¼ tsp (1 g) table salt, 1 pinch black pepper
Shake well for 30 to 40 seconds, until the dressing is emulsified and slightly thickened.
Let the dressing sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then drizzle over your Greek salad and toss to coat evenly.

Notes

Use this dressing as a quick marinade for chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
If it thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then shake again.
A small spoonful of honey or sugar gives it a softer edge without making it sweet.
Store for up to one week in a sealed jar and shake well before using.
