Instructions

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is well combined and slightly emulsified.
Add Dry Ingredients and Flavorings: Stir in the dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and honey if desired. Whisk or shake thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is emulsified.
Taste and Adjust: Sample the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Store Properly: Pour the dressing into a sealed jar and refrigerate for up to one week. Be sure to shake well before each use to remix any separated ingredients.

Notes

This dressing doubles beautifully as a marinade for chicken or vegetables, infusing them with bright Mediterranean flavors.
For a creamier variation, whisk in one tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt to the dressing before serving.
Shake or whisk before each use as the oil and vinegar can separate upon standing.
