EASIEST GREEK SALAD DRESSING

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!)

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.
