Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey according to your preference to balance the flavors.
- Store and Use: Pour the dressing into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use to re-emulsify the ingredients.
Notes
- The honey is optional and can be omitted for a more tangy, less sweet dressing.
- Use dried oregano for the authentic Mediterranean flavor; fresh oregano can be used but will alter the character of the dressing.
- Shake the dressing well before every use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
- This dressing pairs beautifully with Greek salads, roasted vegetables, and as a marinade for grilled chicken or fish.
