Servings: 1.25 cups (300 ml)
Calories: 50kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup oil I used extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup vinegar I used apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 4 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon cayenne flakes optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and stir until well mixed. Add more or less cayenne flakes, depending on how spicy you like your food. Add just ⅛ teaspoon at first, and then add more if needed. Omit this ingredient if you don’t like spicy food.
- It can be served immediately, but it tastes much better and also has a better texture after 1 or 2 days.
- Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Feel free to add more liquid (oil and vinegar), if you want to. The most important thing when making this recipe is the oil to vinegar ratio, which is 2 to 1.
- Add any fresh or dried herbs or any spices you have on hand.
- I used apple cider vinegar because it was what I had on hand, but any type of vinegar will do.
- Fresh garlic is best, but you could also use garlic powder if you want.
- I'd use fresh parsley better but feel free to add dried parsley instead.
- I always use Himalayan pink salt, although any type of salt will work.
