Ingredients for Anita S Salad Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • Garlic Clove
  • Dill
  • Lemon Juice
  • Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • Pepper

How to Make Anita S Salad Dressing

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  3. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may wish to add more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tang.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
