Greek Salad Dressing Ready in Five Minutes
This incredibly easy, five-minute Greek salad dressing is a bright, herb-flecked, and perfectly balanced vinaigrette. Made with pantry staples like extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano, it emulsifies into a creamy, clingy dressing that will transform any salad. A splash of feta brine or Dijon mustard is the secret to its restaurant-quality texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon feta brine or 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- 1
Gather a clean, lidded jar (a mason jar or an old jam jar works perfectly) and all your ingredients.
- 2
Pour the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the jar. Give it a quick swirl with a fork to dissolve the salt and wake up the dried herbs.
- 3
Add the feta brine or Dijon mustard to the jar, then pour in the extra-virgin olive oil.
- 4
Screw the lid on tightly and shake the jar vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds, until the mixture transforms from separate layers into a single, creamy, slightly thickened dressing.
- 5
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed (more salt, oregano, or lemon juice). Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
