Ingredients
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar

- 1 garlic clove finely minced
- 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
- 1½ teaspoons granulated sugar

- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
Step 1:
- Add the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper to a small bowl or glass jar. Whisk everything together until the seasonings are evenly combined.
Step 2:
- Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously. Continue whisking until the dressing becomes smooth, slightly thickened, and well blended.
Step 3:
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a little more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or vinegar to match your preferred flavor.
