Greek Salad Dressing
Description
Greek Salad Dressing is crafted from fresh ingredients like olive oil and lemon juice, with oregano adding herbal complexity. The dressing is emulsified by shaking in a jar until blended, combining acidity from lemon and vinegar with the savory depth of garlic. This balance produces a versatile and flavorful dressing that can brighten up various salads or act as a marinade.
The lemon juice and red wine vinegar give a fresh acidity, while the garlic adds pungency without overpowering. The oregano, whether dried or fresh, provides a distinctly Mediterranean aroma. Once prepared, it keeps in the refrigerator for at least 10 days, maintaining its vibrant profile.
This dressing is straightforward to make and adjusts well to variations, such as including dried thyme or rosemary for extra herbal notes. Its sharp, vibrant flavor pairs best with fresh vegetables and cheeses but can also elevate plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh.
