Greek Salad Dressing (5 Minutes!)
Description
The Greek Salad Dressing mixes olive oil with the acidity of fresh lemon juice and red wine vinegar, balanced by oregano and grated garlic for aromatic depth. A pinch of salt and black pepper rounds out the flavors. The ingredients are shaken vigorously together to emulsion, ensuring a smooth, well-incorporated dressing.
This dressing provides a vibrant acidity with herbal and savory undertones, achieved without any sweeteners. The robust garlic and oregano give a distinctly Mediterranean character.
It is best used immediately but can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks. Because the olive oil may solidify when cold, shaking before serving is recommended. This dressing adapts well beyond salads as a marinade or sauce base.
Quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice are essential to a balanced flavor. Adjust the acidity by adding more olive oil or a little sugar if desired.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place the olive oil in a jar and add the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Seal the jar and shake well for a minute until completely combined.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before serving.
Notes
- Use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor; opt for cold-pressed and organic if possible.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice is preferable to bottled for a brighter taste.
- Adjust the acidity balance by adding more olive oil or a pinch of sugar if the dressing tastes too sharp.
- Shake the dressing well before each use, especially after refrigeration where oil may solidify.
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in a sealed container.
