Greek Salad Dressing Recipe

You’re going to love the lemon–garlicky, salty feta-ness of this Greek Salad Dressing Recipe. Not only is this salad dressing easy to make it has so much flavor you won’t be able to get enough of its mouthwatering goodness.

Greek Salad is one of my daughter’s favorite salads so we make this dressing quite often. I love to have a batch of this dressing in the fridge all of the time.

A classic Greek Salad is made with fresh greens, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, red bell pepper, kalamata olives, and fresh feta.

However, this dressing is delicious on almost any combo of veggies. You can even use it as a marinade for chicken. Simply marinade and then grill or bake for the tastiest chicken you’ve even put in your mouth.

What You’ll Need To Make This Greek Dressing Recipe

Homemade salad dressing is made with a blend of flavorful oil, an acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, and a mixture of herbs and aromatics.

This dressing recipe calls for lemon juice and olive oil but you can make a few substitutions.

• Oil. I like to use extra virgin olive oil in this recipe. However, if you want to store this dressing in the fridge without it getting solid you can use MCT oil. MCT oil will stay liquid in the fridge.
• Lemon juice. Use lemon juice in this recipe or a blend of lemon juice and red wine vinegar.
• Fresh Garlic. Fresh pressed garlic is best in this recipe.
• Oregano. Use fresh oregano leaves. If you’re using dried oregano, use 1 teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon.
• Feta cheese. It’s best to use block feta instead of the pre-crumbled stuff.
• Salt & pepper. Kosher salt and fresh groud pepper.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Squeeze the juice from 2 lemons. Add to a medium bowl.
2. Add 6 large cloves of pressed garlic into the lemon juice.
3. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh oregano. 
4. Add salt and pepper to taste. (use less salt if adding feta)
5. Whisk in olive oil as you drizzle is slowly into the lemon juice. 
6. Stir in ¼ cup of crumbled feta.
