- 1 teaspoon dried oregano flowers or dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

- Combine both oils, the red wine vinegar, and the herb mixture in a mini chef prep or blender. Emulsify for 1 minute. Emulsify again for 15 seconds just before serving. Alternatively, this dressing can be made in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Combine all ingredients and shake for 2 to 3 minutes. You want to ensure that the salt is dissolved.
