Let the jar sit for the full 10 minutes after shaking before serving — the dried herbs need that time to rehydrate and release their flavor into the oil and vinegar.
Instructions:
- Combine the Vinegar & Seasonings: Add the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to a jar.
- Add the Oil: Add the olive oil and seal the jar tightly.
- Shake: Shake vigorously until well combined and emulsified.
- Rest: Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
- Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; shake well before each use.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week; shake well before using as it may separate.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The olive oil brings fruity depth and helps carry the other flavors. The red wine vinegar adds tang that cuts through richness and balances the flavors. The lemon juice adds acidity that brightens and balances the dish. The dried oregano adds an earthy, aromatic herbal backbone.
