This classic Greek Salad Dressing is a vibrant and tangy blend of extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a mix of traditional Mediterranean herbs and spices. Perfectly balanced with a hint of honey and Dijon mustard, it creates a deliciously emulsified dressing that brings fresh Greek salads to life. Easy to make and versatile, this dressing can be served immediately or chilled for up to a week.

Ingredients

Scale

Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients Except Olive Oil: In a bowl, mix together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dried oregano, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried basil, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  2. Emulsify the Dressing: Slowly and gradually whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil to the mixture. Adding the oil gradually helps create an emulsified dressing that prevents separation, resulting in a smooth and cohesive texture.
  3. Serve or Chill: Use the dressing immediately over a Greek salad for fresh flavor, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Stir well before each use to recombine any separation that may occur.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
  • Adjust the honey amount to taste for sweetness preference.
  • Can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week; whisk or shake before use as ingredients may separate over time.
  • Perfect as a marinade for grilled vegetables or chicken as well.
  • If minced fresh garlic is unavailable, garlic powder can be used, but fresh provides the best pungency and flavor.
