Ingredients
Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
- ⅜ teaspoon kosher salt (¼ + ⅛ teaspoon), or more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic clove finely to release its full flavor and measure out all dressing ingredients for easy mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small jar or bowl, add the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, ground sumac (if using), kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Mix Dressing: Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously or put the lid on the jar and shake it well until fully emulsified and combined, creating a smooth dressing.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately on salads or refrigerate in the jar for up to one week. Shake or whisk again before use as the ingredients may separate over time.
Notes
- The ground sumac is optional but adds a unique tangy and lemony flavor if available.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- This dressing pairs best with Greek salad, fresh vegetables, or as a marinade for grilled vegetables or meats.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using, giving it a good shake.
