Liven up your salads with my Greek Salad Dressing
Let’s be honest. When you eat salads multiple times a week they can start to get boring. The easiest way to make those healthy veggies exciting again? Toss them with a tangy homemade salad dressing!
This Greek salad dressing is one of the easiest salad dressings I make. The ingredients are all pantry staples that you probably have in your kitchen right now. I love that this dressing is so versatile! It’s perfect tossed with a classic Greek Salad or Greek Pasta Salad, and it also makes a flavorful marinade for grilled chicken or pork.
Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy homemade salad dressing:
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use a good quality olive oil when making homemade salad dressing because the flavor of the oil really comes through in the finished dressing.
- Red Wine Vinegar: Vinegar adds tangy flavor and, when whisked together with the olive oil, creates an emulsion of oil and vinegar that is signature to vinaigrette dressings.
- Dijon Mustard: The Dijon adds just a hint of sharpness to enhance the dressing’s flavor.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a pop of flavor. You can use more or less garlic, to your tastes.
- Dried Oregano: Oregano is often used in Mediterranean cooking and its flavor works perfectly in this Greek dressing. I like to use dried herbs in salad dressings because they are budget-friendly and easy to keep on hand. Dried herbs also hold up well when you make this salad dressing ahead of time.
- Salt and Black Pepper: Use salt and pepper to add flavor, to taste.
Recipe Variation: Sometimes I like to add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.

How to Make Greek Salad Dressing
Making this Greek dressing couldn’t be easier! You can whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, or shake them together in a small jar with a lid, such as a mason jar.
Once you’ve mixed all of the ingredients together, taste the dressing. You may want to add a bit more salt or pepper. If the dressing is too strong, you can add a little more olive oil. If you want a stronger flavor, add a bit more red wine vinegar or Dijon.
Storage Instructions
This homemade Greek salad dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It’s ideal for including in a weekly meal prep session. The dressing will separate over time and the oil may solidify in the refrigerator. Let the dressing sit at room temperature until the oil melts and then shake or whisk to recombine the ingredients before using.
