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.
Omg!! This came out so PERFECT! Usually I don’t comment after I try recipes, but for THIS one, I had too. I had everything on hand & it was so easy to make. Im so glad I don’t have to spend money for a bottle anymore. Definitely going to check out your other dressing recipes. THANK YOU!
How to Make Greek Salad Dressing
- Combine ingredients: I love pouring all of the ingredients into a small mason jar and then shaking them up to combine. The jar is perfect for then storing it in the refrigerator.

For 32 years of married life I have bought bottled dressings for my homemade salads. Kind of sad. I had tried making another Greek dressing a while back that we really liked but had feta cheese as an ingredient and the shelf life was short. We love this dressing and it’s easy to make. It my not last three months because it’s delicious. It’s never to late to make your own dressing.
I’m so glad you like it! And it would be super easy to add a little feta to smaller portions of this dressing right before using it.
