  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  5 min

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for serving
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the center position.
