Ingredients
Scale
For the Greek Salad Dressing
- 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 a medium-sized 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 blended.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and tweak the seasoning to your preference, adding extra salt, pepper, or honey if desired, to balance the flavor.
- Store and Shake: Pour the dressing into a sealed container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to one week. Always shake well before using to recombine the ingredients.
Notes
- Use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor and health benefits.
- The honey is optional; omit it to keep the dressing tangier and reduce sugar content.
- Shake the dressing well before each use, as the oil and vinegar naturally separate over time.
- This dressing pairs perfectly with Greek salad ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
