EASIEST GREEK SALAD DRESSING



Easiest Greek Salad Dressing image

Easy and delicious dressing. Salad-haters tell me that they will eat a whole bucket of salad as long as it has this dressing on it. I have also brushed this dressing onto homemade pizza dough (in lieu of tomato sauce) when I make pizza at home. Note: If you do not have any red wine vinegar you can substitute a tablespoon of red wine (any kind will do) with a splash of regular vinegar. (Not really a new idea; just an easy substitution!)

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1/3 cup, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (or less)
1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 -2 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a small container and shake vigorously.
  • Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour prior to serving (Note: this is optional - you can use the dressing right away if you want to, but it usually tastes better if you let it sit for a while.) Let dressing return to room temperature before serving.
  • For the actual salad I use baby salad greens, kalamata olives, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and goat cheese.
  • Prepare the salad/salad bowls with all of the greens, tomatoes, etc.; but wait to add the dressing until just before serving.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING



Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing image

This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dressing will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let your dressing sit for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld together. If you're short on time, you can make your dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Greek salad dressing is typically made with oregano, thyme, and basil. However, you can use any herbs that you like. Some other good options include rosemary, marjoram, and savory.
  • Adjust the acidity to your taste: Greek salad dressing is traditionally made with red wine vinegar. However, you can use any type of vinegar that you like. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Conclusion:

Greek salad dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dressing, give Greek salad dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
