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.

This dressing is delicious! I used it on an orzo salad and was sad that I forgot the leftover dressing at my sister’s. Just made it again today and can’t wait to use it all week!!
Delicious! I wouldn’t expect less from Love & Lemon.
So tasty! I ended up using balsamic vinegar because I didn’t have the red wine kind, and accidentally doubled the dijon mustard but hey, it turned out great anyways! Do you happen to know the calorie content?
Hi Keysha, I’m so glad you loved it! We don’t calculate nutrition facts for our recipes unfortunately, but you could use an online nutrition calculator to get an estimate.
Just google a tablespoon of oil that’s about all the calories. I think it’s about 100.

Had forgotten about your recipe for a few years and just remembered it existed! SO good. Glad I found you again!
Does this have to be refrigerated? I’ve noticed when I refrigerate it, it’s clumps up 🙁
You just need to take it out about 30 min before using it. But yes, it should stay in the fridge.
How long does it keep in the fridge?
3 to 5 days
Use this recipe all the time. When you lol a the ingredients of store bought dressing and in the top 3 ingredients is some form of sugar, that is a no thanks for me.
