- 2-5 cloves of garlic, smashed
- 2 Tablespoons fresh oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Put the first three ingredients into a food processor or blender. Process until coarsely chopped.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients
- Add your herb mixture to your oil mixture and combine.

Notes
