Description
Whip up this easy homemade Greek salad dressing in just minutes for authentic Greek flavor with most ingredients found in your pantry.
Ingredients
Yields: 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed with side of your knife then peeled*
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 3 pinches of salt
- 10–15 grinds black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a mason jar or any type of container with a lid. (I love this all-in-one dressing shaker). Cover and shake vigorously until combined. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Cover and store in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Stir before serving.
Notes
*the garlic flavor gets stronger the longer the dressing sits, so if serving the dressing immediately, you can add minced or pressed garlic, otherwise, smashed garlic works great here as it gradually flavors the dressing

I’ve made many many times. For company and not. A family favorite and so easy. Thanks!
I was super excited to try this recipe but one juice of a lemon is too much. ???? I’m still going to use it. I just need to tweek it a little.

I have been making a very similar recipe for years, and everyone loves it. Difference is 2 Tbsp. Chopped Parsley, only 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice, and no garlic. My question is, where did you find the cute little dressing container? I usually just make enough to pour over my Greek Salad, but would be nice to have extra on the table in such a nice container. Thanks!

I have made it numerous times however I
Ad a teaspoon of sugar and that cuts down the tartness! A Greek friend gave me that tip.
