Ingredients

Scale

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard (e.g., Grey Poupon)
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon, preferably fresh-squeezed
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: Place all of the ingredients into a blender. Secure the lid tightly to prevent spills. Pulse at high speed until the mixture is fully combined and emulsified, creating a smooth and cohesive dressing.
  2. Serve or Store: Once your dressing reaches the desired consistency, you can serve it immediately over your favorite Cobb salad or other greens. Alternatively, transfer the dressing into a sealed airtight container and store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Shake well before each use.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh-squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar and salt according to your taste preference.
  • This dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Whisk or shake the dressing before each use as natural separation may occur.
  • You can substitute water with a little less oil to further reduce calories if desired.
