What You Need for Greek Dressing

• Honey: Adds a touch of natural sweetness that is just divine.
• Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright and refreshing flavor to this dressing.
• Dijon mustard: Helps emulsify the dressing and adds depth of flavor.
• Dried oregano: This herb is essential in any Greek dressing and gives it that classic Mediterranean flavor.

• Mason jar: You’ll need a mason jar or something similar to mix and store your dressing in.
