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 the 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, add the crumbled feta to the jar, then shake again to distribute evenly.
  • Taste the dressing 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

Before serving after refrigeration, allow the dressing to sit at room temperature for a few minutes, or microwave it for a few seconds to soften the olive oil (do not overheat). Shake well before using.
This dressing also makes a fantastic marinade for chicken, shrimp, or grilled vegetables.
