Add red wine vinegar, water, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to a mason jar. You can use a bowl as well. Shake or mix to blend.
Add the olive oil and honey (if using) and shake the mason jar vigorously until vinaigrette is well combined. If using a bowl, slowly add the olive oil in a thin steam and whisk until incorporated.
Can be served immediately or cooled in the refrigerator for later use.
Notes
This Cava Greek Vinaigrette recipe can be left out at room temperature for a couple weeks if made as written (using garlic powder and dried herbs). If you make changes, such as adding fresh lemon juice, fresh herbs, dijon mustard, etc., then it will need to be refrigerated.
To refrigerate: store leftover dressing in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed mason jar, air tight container, or salad dressing cruet.
Olive oil will solidify, so allow 30 minutes at room temperature before serving. Freezing isn’t recommended.
