Prep the ingredients: First things first, get all your ingredients ready! Measure out everything and have it right by your side. It's like having all your crafting supplies ready before starting a project. You'll thank me later!

Combine: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, add all the ingredients: olive oil, white wine vinegar, sugar (or honey), oregano, basil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and minced garlic. It's like a flavor fiesta all in one bowl!

Mix: Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined. If you're using a jar, put the lid on and shake it like you're at a dance party! You just want to make sure everything gets to know each other.

Soak: Cover the bowl or jar and let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or better yet, overnight in the fridge. This is when the magic happens. The flavors need time to meld and deepen. It's like letting a good friendship grow over time.

Shake it up: Before using, give the dressing another shake or whisk to make sure everything is still well combined. This ensures that the flavour gets a boost of freshness. It’s like a little dance before going to a big party.

Serve: Drizzle the dressing over your favorite salads. This is where the fun begins. Let that dressing transform your greens into something absolutely mouth-watering!
