Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced; choose a large clove for bolder flavor, or two small
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Aleppo pepper may substitute with crushed red pepper flakes, or omit entirely
  • dash salt
  • ¼ cup high quality, extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl or spouted measuring cup, whisk all the ingredients together EXCEPT the olive oil until combined.
  • Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
  • Dressing may be enjoyed right away, but for best flavor, allow it to rest for 30 minutes on the countertop. Before serving, give it a quick stir.

Notes

This recipe yields approximately ⅔ cup dressing.
When properly sealed, Mediterranean dressing will keep for up to one week in the fridge. Allow it to sit out 5-10 minutes before using and give it a quick stir to bring the ingredients together, since the oil, vinegar, and lemon juice will separate.
Storing options include small glass mason jars with sealed lids, decanters with tight fitting stoppers, and dressing shakers.
