Total time: 15 min
Yield: Serves 8-10
Ingredients: 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (preferably Italian); 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped; 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped; 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves; 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped; 1 teaspoon honey; 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the herbs

Wash all herbs thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the leaves from the stems and finely chop the basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano.
Mix the base

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined and slightly emulsified.
Add the aromatics

Add the minced garlic, chopped herbs, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the oil and vinegar mixture. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
Season the dressing

Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey for balance.
Rest and infuse

Allow the dressing to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. The longer it sits, the more the herbs will infuse the oil.
Store or serve

Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. If not using immediately, refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature and shake well before serving.
