ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING
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!

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!)

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.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the tastier your dressing will be. Choose ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fragrant herbs for the best flavor.
- Choose a Good Quality Olive Oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing. Opt for a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery taste.
- Don't Overdress Your Salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the salad and make it soggy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
- Let the Dressing Marinate: If you have time, let the dressing marinate for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Experiment with Different Variations: There are many ways to customize this dressing to your liking. Try adding different herbs, spices, or vinegars. You could also use different types of cheese, such as feta or crumbled goat cheese.
Conclusion:
Greek salad dressing is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright, tangy flavor, Greek salad dressing is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your next salad.
