Why I love this dressing
There are many reasons to love this 3-ingredient Greek salad dressing:
- Simple ingredients: You likely already have everything you need in your pantry!
- Quick and easy to make: Takes just minutes to whisk together.
- Fresh and flavorful: The lemon juice and oregano add a bright, tangy flavor that complements the vegetables perfectly.
- Versatile: Use it on any salad, not just Greek salad!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Substitutions
- Lemon juice: If you don't have fresh lemons, you can substitute ¼ cup bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give the dressing the brightest flavor.
- Olive Oil: You can use regular olive oil, extra virgin or your favorite quality neutral oil.
Instructions
Step 1
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper to a small bowl or jar with a lid.
Step 2
Whisk or shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified, meaning the oil and vinegar are well combined and cloudy in appearance.
Step 3
Drizzle the dressing over your Greek Salad and toss gently.
How to Store
This refrigerates well for a couple of weeks. Olive oil may get thicker or even solidify when refrigerated. Normally I just leave it out to warm to room temperature and give it a good shake before I use it. This recipe makes a smaller portion so there often isn't much left over!
