Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar or honey
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard helps with emulsification

Method

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine all of the ingredients.
Whisk or Blend: Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and the dressing is emulsified (creamy and stable). Alternatively, use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, sugar, or lemon juice.
Chill: For best results, chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Use Good Quality Olive Oil: The better the olive oil, the better the flavor of the dressing.
Emulsify Properly: Emulsification is key to preventing the dressing from separating.
Adjust to Your Taste: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking.
Make It Ahead: This dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Shake Before Serving: Shake well before serving.
