Greek Vinaigrette

This is a workhorse vinaigrette that's better than anything from a bottle. The easiest way to make it is to combine everything in a jar and shake it. Letting the dried herbs sit in the oil and vinegar for a bit allows them to rehydrate and release their flavor.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Rest Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 1 clove fresh garlic grated
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Method

  • Add all ingredients to a glass jar with tight-fitting lid.
  • Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until emulsified and slightly thickened.
  • Let rest 30 minutes before using to allow flavors to develop.
  • Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Let dressing come to room temperature 5-10 minutes and shake well before each use, as mixture will separate and olive oil may solidify when cold.
