- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (see note 1)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (see note 2)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Notes
- Dijon mustard: Not crazy about Dijon? Reduce your mustard to 1 tsp. and make standard Red Wine Vinaigrette. Or substitute brown mustard.
- Oregano: Or substitute dried marjoram, dried basil, Italian seasoning, or your favorite minced fresh herbs (such as basil, chives, or parsley).
- Yield: This Dijon dressing recipe makes just over 3/4 c., enough for 6 to 7 servings, 2 Tbsp. each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
