Greek Salad Dressing
Description
The Greek Salad Dressing combines commonly used Mediterranean ingredients starting with extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, which provide a fruity base and acidity. Minced fresh garlic adds pungency, while oregano injects distinctive herbal notes characteristic of Greek cuisine. A touch of Dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier to bind the dressing while contributing subtle sharpness.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper season the vinaigrette, rounding out the flavor profile. Whisking the ingredients together creates a smooth dressing ideal for drizzling over salads composed of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese, and onions.
This simple dressing enhances the natural freshness of vegetables with balanced acidity and herbaceousness, suitable for classic spinach or romaine salads or as a marinade for grilled vegetables.
