Ingredients

  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lemon about ¼ cup juice
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta optional
  • Salt to taste (about ½ teaspoon)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste (about ¼ teaspoon)

Instructions

  • In a pint jar or any jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, and minced garlic.
  • Cover the jar and shake well until the dressing is fully emulsified.
  • If using feta, add it to the jar and shake again to mix thoroughly.
  • Taste and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to your preference.
  • Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Let the dressing come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated; you can also microwave it for a few seconds to soften the olive oil—do not overheat.
Works great as a marinade for chicken, shrimp, or grilled vegetables.
