Greek Salad Dressing Recipe
Description
The Greek Salad Dressing Recipe combines olive oil, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and feta brine to create a zesty and slightly creamy dressing. Fresh dill and oregano contribute herbaceous and earthy notes, while finely minced garlic adds a gentle pungency. Whisking the ingredients together forms a harmonious blend of bright acidity balanced with the olive oil's richness. The dressing is flexible, easy to prepare in advance, and can be stored refrigerated for up to ten days.
Its moderate acidity and herbal flavor make it a natural partner for traditional Greek salads or any salad featuring fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. The feta brine adds subtle saltiness and depth, enhancing the overall taste complexity. If desired, the dressing can be shaken in a jar for convenience and to re-emulsify before serving.
For best results, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil with grassy and slightly spicy notes. If feta brine is unavailable, it can be omitted, but adding a small pinch of salt can compensate for its absence.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil see notes
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice from ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon feta brine see notes
- 1 tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 clove garlic very finely minced
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk until well combined. (If you're not using the dressing right away, you can add the ingredients to a jar with a lid then shake the jar when you're ready.)
- Use the dressing right away or store it in your fridge in a jar for up to 10 days.
Notes
- Use the best extra virgin olive oil you have to enhance the dressing’s flavor.
- If your feta cheese is not packed in brine, omit the feta brine and add a small pinch of salt instead.
- Store the dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 10 days and shake before use to combine ingredients.
