Servings: 8 Servings
Cost: $2
Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons white wine vinegar (or red wine or balsamic vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a glass jar or small mixing bowl and shake or whisk to combine.
- Then, let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 1 week. You can serve it immediately but I like to give the herbs times to soften in the oil/vinegar/lemon juice.

Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Olive oil. I do not recommend substitutions for this. Higher quality oil yields a better dressing.
- White wine vinegar. red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar work well too.
- Lemon juice. No substitutes here.
- Dijon mustard. Any type of mustard works well, but Dijon is best.
- Dried spices. you can replace all the dried spices (minus salt and pepper) with 1 Tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
