- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
