  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds to emulsify.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder to the bowl. Whisk until all herbs are evenly distributed.
  3. Season the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Whisk again to incorporate.
  4. Let the dressing sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Tip: For a more intense flavor, prepare the dressing a day in advance and refrigerate.
  5. Give the dressing a final whisk before drizzling over your dish. Tip: If the olive oil solidifies in the fridge, let the dressing sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or warm it gently in your hands.

Daringly vibrant, this dressing boasts a harmonious blend of earthy herbs and tangy vinegar, with a smooth, velvety texture that clings beautifully to greens. Try it as a bold finish for grilled vegetables or as a lively marinade for chicken skewers at your next barbecue.
