Recipe Notes
-
Use good quality extra-virgin olive oil. Since olive oil is the base of this dressing, the flavor truly matters. A smooth, peppery oil will give you the most authentic Greek salad dressing flavor.
-
Shake before each use. Natural separation is normal. Simply shake in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid to re-emulsify.
-
Oil may solidify in the refrigerator. This is completely normal. Let the dressing sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and shake well before serving.
-
If using fresh garlic or lemon juice, store for 7-10 days max. The dried-spice version lasts 3-4 weeks.
-
Want a creamy variation? Add 1-2 tablespoons Greek yogurt for a homemade creamy Greek salad dressing.
-
Flavor deepens over time. This dressing tastes even better after a few hours once the dried oregano and basil hydrate.
