Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and garlic in a bowl. Whisk well. While whisking, slowly add the oil in a constant stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.
Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Whisk well before serving.

I use 1/3 cup olive oil and add a little water to cut the calories a bit. It's very good on salads or used as a marinade on steak or chicken.

We love this dressing! We either make a salad with it or put it on angel hair pasta with marinated artichoke hearts, chopped olives, tomatoes, capers and pieces of chicken. Like a dish I had at Johnny Carinos.
