  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 0.5 cups white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper , or to taste
  • 1 pinch herbes de Provence
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise , or more to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place olive oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley, thyme, chives, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and herbes de Provence into a nearly empty mayonnaise jar containing at least 1 tablespoon mayonnaise.

  2. 2

    Cover the jar with its lid and shake vigorously to make a creamy dressing, about 2 minutes. Pour into a serving dish.
