How to Make Authentic Greek Dressing

Greek dressing is a great way to dress up your salad and you can make it easily at home. When I made this dressing at a Greek restaurant people were always asking for the recipe and now I’m going to share it with you!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of olive oil
  • 1/3 cup of white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup of the juice from a jar of hot peppers
  • 1 tbsp. of white pepper
  • 1 tbsp. of garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. of oregano

Directions 

Combine all ingredients in a large container with a lid. Shake well and refrigerate.

And that is all there is to it. Shake it up just before you use it and lightly dress your salad with it and serve.

But you can use this dressing on more than just salad! Try marinating meat with it. Chicken breasts get a nice flavor with it and it gives steak a new flavor that will taste great. It can also be used over pasta for a nice simple side dish. Throw in some black olives, red onions, green peppers, and cucumbers and chill the pasta an you’ve got a great cold Greek pasta dish that is great for summer barbecues. Oh – and don’t forget the feta cheese!

This Greek dressing may be great on greek salads but just adding it to simple leaf lettuce and tomatoes is nice as well. This versatile dressing will give anything a fresh flavor and your friends will want to know what it is that makes your food taste so good!
