Greek salad dressing

I first made this Greek salad dressing recipe to toss with a traditional Greek Salad, but once I had it on hand, I discovered that it tastes fantastic on so much more! It’s zingy, tangy, and bright – perfect for livening up side salads or making roasted veggies more exciting. The recipe calls for a handful of simple ingredients, so it’s easy to whip up at a moment’s notice. And once you’ve made it, it keeps for up to 5 days in the fridge!

If you ask me, everyone should have this Greek salad dressing recipe in their back pocket. Easy, healthy, and delicious, it’s just as at home on a weeknight grain bowl as it is on a special occasion salad. Try it once, and you’ll make it over and over.

Greek Salad Dressing Recipe Ingredients

You only need 7 ingredients to make this Greek salad dressing recipe! Chances are, you have them all in your pantry already:

  • Red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard – They work together to give the dressing a bright, tangy flavor.
  • Fresh garlic – For sharp depth of flavor.
  • Dried oregano – It gives the dressing fresh, aromatic notes.
  • Extra-virgin olive oil – It adds richness and mellows the sharp vinegar and mustard.
  • And salt and pepper – To make all the flavors pop!

Whisk everything together in a small bowl, and season to taste. That’s it!

How to Use Greek Dressing

This Greek dressing recipe is really versatile, so have fun experimenting with different ways to use it. Here are a few of my favorites:

  • On my easy Greek Salad! I love how the tangy dressing plays off the fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, bell pepper, rich feta cheese, and briny kalamata olives.
  • On my Cucumber Tomato Salad. Can you tell that this dressing tastes great with tomatoes and cucumbers?
  • On my Italian Chopped Salad. Substitute this Greek salad dressing for the lemon vinaigrette.
  • On any green salad. Drizzle it over your favorite greens to make a tasty side salad, or add croutons, roasted chickpeas, hard boiled eggs, and/or chopped fresh veggies to make it a meal.
  • On roasted veggies. Spoon it onto roasted cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, fennel, or potatoes after they come out of the oven.
  • On grilled veggies. I love drizzling Greek salad dressing over grilled zucchini, potatoes, asparagus, corn, or grilled veggie skewers.
  • Or on cooked grains, beans, or lentils. Toss cooked lentils, white beans, farro, or quinoa with Greek dressing and fresh herbs to make a hearty side dish.

    A very delicious sauce but NOT a Greek salad dressing. No, no, no
    Greek salad needs virgin olive oil and good sea salt. Nothing else

    good dressing recipe but serves 6? I doubled it – I think it’d serve 4 at most. Maybe we just like a lot of dressing?

    This was wonderful!
    Easy and delicious!
    Second time I’ve made it people just rave!!
    So good!
    Only thing I changed up was salting my cucumbers for 30 minutes then draining and squeezing out excess moisture. , prior to mixing into the salad!!
    Salad dressing is superb!
    Thank you!!

    I really like greek salads! I use this dressing recipe every time. I enjoy a piece of Naan bread with it. I heat the bread & brush a lite coating of the dressing on it. Really delish!

    Super easy to make and so good! I added a little squeeze of lemon juice and a very small drizzle of honey, just my personal preference but it was amazing even without it!
