About Greek salad dressing recipe

1. Liven up bland boring salad with this tangy, bright salad dressing.

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s what you’ll need-

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, use premium quality olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice, squeezed fresh
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and crushed pepper to taste
all ingredients for Greek style salad dressing on board

Ingredients notes-

Olive oil – is the base of Greek salad dressing recipe. Make sure to use good quality brand virgin or extra-virgin olive oil in the recipe.

Red wine vinegar – adds deeper flavor to the dressing. Highly recommend red wine vinegar over white wine vinegar as it adds a distinct special flavor to the dressing.

Lemon juice – highly recommend you use fresh squeezed lemon juice only. Bottled stuff are more zingy and will make the salad dressing too tang and will lack the fresh flavors.

Honey –  balances the tang in the dressing with a layer of sweetness to it.

Dijon mustard – use smooth Dijon mustard for creamier dressing. Use yellow mustard if that’s what you have. Mustard is must in salad dressing for me as it thickens the dressing a bit more which helps coats the salad a little better.

Garlic – highly recommend fresh garlic over garlic powder. If you want to store for longer substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder.

Seasoning oregano, salt & pepper – always season the dressing well. Taste and add seasoning as per taste.
