Ladolemono Greek Salad Dressing Recipe
Description
The Ladolemono Greek Salad Dressing recipe features fresh lemon juice as the base, which provides a bright acidity, balanced by the richness of extra virgin olive oil. Dried oregano adds an aromatic herbal element, while minced garlic contributes pungency, and kosher salt and black pepper season the mixture. The dressing is made by whisking the lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together before slowly drizzling in the olive oil to emulsify it.
The resulting dressing is light yet flavorful, suitable for drizzling on crisp salads or as a marinade or finishing sauce for grilled meats and fish. Its fresh and zesty profile highlights the Mediterranean flavors typical of Greek cuisine.
This dressing can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated for up to two weeks. Shake well before use, as separation occurs naturally due to the oil and lemon juice.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice juice of 2 large lemons, fresh
- 1 to 2 teaspoons oregano dried
- 1 garlic minced, large clove
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Put the lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- While you are whisking vigorously, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil.
Notes
- Store the dressing in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, shaking before use due to natural separation.
- Use Ladolemono on salads as well as grilled meats and fish to add fresh, bright flavor.
- Adjust the amount of oregano and garlic to suit your taste preferences.
