  2. Finely chop 1 cup of fresh parsley.
  3. Finely chop 1/4 cup of red onion.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic paste, parsley, red onion, 1/4 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1 bay leaf, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and let sit for another 30 minutes.
  7. Finally, whisk in 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least overnight (or up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to fully develop.
