This Greek Salad Dressing Recipe is made with easy to find ingredients and comes together quickly! It is delicious, simple, and so good on so many different salad recipes. I love it on my Greek Quinoa Salad.
I am pretty much obsessed with making my own salad dressing recipes. They are so easy to throw together. Typically my recipes use ingredients that most people have on hand. This great Greek Salad Dressing Recipe is no exception.
I love that it is so easy to adjust the flavors of homemade salad dressing recipes. I made two versions of this recipe when I was testing, and I couldn’t decide which one I like more. I literally dipped lettuce in each version over and over and kept comparing them.
One has a stronger red wine vinegar taste and one has a stronger olive oil taste. I love the red wine vinegar one (which comes from only adding a half cup of olive oil), but I know everyone isn’t obsessed with pickling things like I am. So in the recipe notes you will see that you can start out with only a half cup of oil and add more depending on your tastes.
Used this recipe for my pasta salad dressing! Super delicious! Thank you!

Notes

I love this recipe! It is a little bit of a hassle to store in fridge, then bring to room temp. Can it be stored at room temp so it’s ready to use all the time?
The only ingredient that I feel like needs to refrigerated for freshness is the lemon. From a food safety perspective it isn’t a big risk to leave it on the counter, but of course, it’s a personal decision.
