There’s nothing boring about this Greek Salad Dressing. It’s fresh, zippy, and honestly just one of those dressings that makes anything you pour it on taste amazing. I like to keep a jar in my fridge at all times for quick lunches or to drizzle over grilled chicken and veggies.

The magic happens when the simple ingredients come together in a silky, tangy blend that tastes like summer in a jar. It only take minutes to whip together and it taste so much better than anything store-bought. Whether you're dressing a loaded Greek salad or using it as a marinade, it’s one of those solid recipes that just works every time.

🛒 Ingredients for Greek Dressing

• Olive oil: Choose a good quality one for the best flavor.
• Red wine vinegar: Adds a bold tang that balances out the oil.
• Lemon juice: Fresh is best, but bottled works in a pinch.
• Fresh garlic, grated: Use a microplane for fine, even garlic that blends in smoothly.
• Dijon mustard: Helps the dressing emulsify and adds a little kick.
• Dried oregano: The signature herb for all things Greek.
• Salt and ground black pepper: Adjust to taste after blending.

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

🥣 Recommended Tools

• Bullet blender, immersion blender or mixing bowl and whisk

🔪 How to Make Homemade Greek Salad Dressing

Add all of the ingredients into a bullet blender cup.  If you don’t have a bullet blender, you can use an immersion blender or mixing bowl and a whisk.

Blend until emulsified and creamy.

Serve over Greek salad or any other salad of your choice.

💡 Tips

• Use a good-quality olive oil since it makes up most of the dressing.
• A bullet blender works great, but an immersion blender or whisk will do the trick too.
• Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before using. This helps the flavors mellow and blend.
• If you don’t want raw garlic, sauté it in a bit of olive oil first to take the edge off.
• Store it in a mason jar with a tight lid so you can shake it up before each use.
• If dressing thickens in the fridge, let it come to room temp or stir in a splash of water to loosen it up.

☑️ Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Shake or stir before using.
• Freezer: Not recommended. The olive oil and lemon juice won’t hold up well to freezing.

🍴 Delicious Ways To Use Homemade Greek Dressing

• Salad dressing: Drizzle over mixed greens with avocado, red onion, grilled chicken, and olives for a vibrant, Greek salad.

• Grain bowls: Use it to dress quinoa or rice bowls topped with roasted veggies, and shrimp or tofu.

• Veggie dip: Serve as a dipping sauce for raw veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, and carrot sticks.

• Seafood marinade: Use it as a marinade for shrimp, salmon, or scallops before grilling or baking.

• Taco topping: Spoon over fish or chicken tacos for a tangy, Mediterranean twist.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Vinegar: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a richer, deeper flavor.

• Herbs: Toss in fresh chopped herbs like parsley or dill for extra brightness.

• Mustard: Swap the dijon for stone-ground mustard if you prefer a little more texture.

• Honey: Stir in a teaspoon of honey if you want a subtle sweetness.

• Creamy Greek: Crumble in a bit of feta to turn it into a creamy dressing.

• Heat: Make it spicy with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Why is My Dressing Separating in the Fridge?

That’s normal. Just give it a good shake or whisk before using.

Can I Make This Dressing Without a Blender?

Absolutely. Whisk everything by hand in a bowl until it looks creamy and blended.

How Can I Make This Less Tangy?

Reduce the lemon juice or red wine vinegar slightly, or add a pinch of sweetener.

Can I Use Fresh Oregano Instead of Dried?

Yes, just use a bit more, about 1 to 1½ teaspoons of chopped fresh oregano.

My Dressing Turned Out Too Thick. What Should I Do?

Stir in a splash of water or extra lemon juice to thin it out.
