  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 7 servings

Ingredients

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Lemon, juiced (about 3 Tablespoons)
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well blended and emulsified.
  2. Add Herbs and Seasoning: Stir in the dried basil, oregano, thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
  3. Serve or Store: Use the dressing immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad. If not using right away, transfer the dressing into an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled.
  • Shake or whisk the dressing well before each use as the ingredients may separate.
  • This dressing pairs well with mixed greens, grilled vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or fish.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; add more salt, pepper, or mustard if desired.
  • Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
