Greek Salad Dressing

Store homemade dressings in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Commercially bottled dressings will have their own specific storage instructions after opening.

Whisk ingredients together vigorously to emulsify the dressing.

Taste and adjust seasonings before serving. You might want more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Let the dressing sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Drizzle dressing over your salad just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting.

Classic Greek Salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta)

Marinated chicken or fish

Roasted vegetables

Dipping sauce for pita bread or grilled meats

Not tasting and adjusting the seasoning. Dressings can often benefit from a little more salt, pepper, or acidity.

Using low-quality olive oil. The flavor of the oil is prominent, so use a good extra virgin olive oil if possible.

Overdressing the salad. Start with a little and add more as needed.
