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 the ingredients, the better your dressing will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced fruits and vegetables.

Season to taste: Once you've added all of your ingredients, taste your dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
