Greek Salad Dressing
Description
Greek Salad Dressing combines red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice for acidity, which is blended with minced garlic and dried oregano for herbal depth. A small amount of Dijon mustard adds emulsifying properties, helping the dressing maintain a uniform texture. Kosher salt and black pepper season the mixture.
The dressing is prepared by whisking together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Olive oil is then added slowly while whisking vigorously to emulsify the oil and acidic components, resulting in a harmonious, slightly thickened vinaigrette. This method ensures the flavors integrate fully.
This dressing pairs well with fresh vegetables and traditional Greek salad components like olives and feta cheese, providing a zesty, herbal coating. It can also be used as a marinade or a sauce for grilled meats or vegetables.
Stored in the refrigerator, the dressing remains good for up to one week, maintaining its emulsion and flavor. Using fresh, high-quality olive oil and properly stored dressing in glass containers helps preserve its quality throughout the week.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk ingredients. Add the vinegar, lemon, mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk together.
- Pour oil and whisk together. Slowly add the olive oil and whisk vigorously while pouring until the dressing is emulsified.
Notes
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Use glass containers for storage to preserve flavor and prevent odors from transferring.
- This dressing works well as both a salad dressing and a marinade for summer meal preparations.
