Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the CAVA Greek Vinaigrette: fresh oregano, black pepper, salt, garlic cloves, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and high-quality olive oil. Chop the garlic finely to release its aromatic flavor and measure out each ingredient.
  2. In a blender, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is nicely combined and smooth.
  3. With the blender running on high, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream. Continue to blend until the dressing thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
  4. Once blended, taste your CAVA Greek Vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  5. Transfer the finished vinaigrette into a mason jar or an airtight container for storage. Seal it tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Your homemade CAVA Greek Vinaigrette is now ready to elevate your favorite dishes! Drizzle it over fresh salads or use it as a marinade for grilled chicken.
