Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey (if using), finely minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper to a 16-ounce mason jar.
- Shake or blend: Secure the lid on the jar and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend for 10-20 seconds until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
- Use or store: Use the dressing immediately to enhance your salad or store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to one week. Before each use, bring it to room temperature and shake well to redistribute any separated ingredients.
Notes
- Honey is optional and can be omitted for a more tart dressing or for vegan preferences.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste after mixing.
- Bringing the dressing to room temperature before use ensures the olive oil is not too thick or cloudy.
- This dressing can double as a marinade for grilled vegetables or meats.
