Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use a good quality olive oil when making homemade salad dressing because the flavor of the oil comes through in the finished dressing.
- Red Wine Vinegar: Vinegar is an essential ingredient in this salad dressing. It 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. You can omit the Dijon if you prefer.
- 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. I like to use dried herbs, such as dried oregano, because they are budget-friendly and easy to keep on hand in my kitchen. 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: You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired, to brighten up the flavors.
