Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (100 grams or 118.3 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise (light mayonnaise will work fine)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk together the olive oil and the mayonnaise. Slowly add the vinegar as you continue whisking. I love using a frother for this.
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise, 2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Taste and add more salt as needed.
    1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Use right away on a salad, but keep in mind the flavor will get better if it sits overnight. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
