Easy Homemade Greek Dressing
Description
Made from olive oil and red wine vinegar with the addition of Dijon mustard for emulsification, the dressing incorporates traditional Greek-inspired herbs and spices including parsley, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper rounds out the taste. The ingredients are combined in a lidded jar and shaken vigorously to emulsify before serving or storing.
The dressing’s tangy and herbaceous flavor profile enhances leafy greens and vegetable salads without overpowering them. It can be left to sit briefly to allow flavors to meld and shaken again before use. This recipe’s simplicity and ability to store well make it a staple for everyday salads.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 1 TBSP Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp parsley or 1 tsp fresh, dried
- ½ tsp garlic powder

- ¼ tsp basil dried
- ⅛ tsp salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a lidded jar and shake vigorously to emulsify.

Notes
- Shake the dressing well before each use to re-emulsify the oil and vinegar mixture.
- Store in a sealed jar in the fridge and consume within a few days for best flavor.
- Adjust herbs and spices to personal taste preferences if desired.
