Description

This homemade Greek Salad Dressing is a bright, tangy, and flavorful Mediterranean vinaigrette made with extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and Dijon mustard. It comes together quickly without cooking and enhances Greek salads, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, and marinades with its zesty and aromatic profile.

Ingredients

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Shake to Emulsify: Secure the lid firmly and shake the jar vigorously until the dressing is thoroughly emulsified and well combined.
  3. Alternative Mixing Method: Alternatively, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth and emulsified if you do not have a jar.
  4. Adjust Flavor: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning or acidity to your preference by adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  5. Let Flavors Blend: Allow the dressing to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to deepen and meld the flavors before serving.
  6. Serve or Use: Drizzle the dressing over a Greek salad or use it as a marinade for chicken, fish, or vegetables for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.

Notes

  • Shake or whisk the dressing well before each use since the ingredients naturally separate over time.
  • Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil to maximize flavor and texture.
  • Add a small amount of honey if you prefer a slightly sweeter dressing.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature and shake well before serving.
