This vinaigrette is hands down one of my favorite homemade salad dressing recipes. It’s very similar to a red wine vinaigrette with a couple added ingredients which gives it a completely different flavor. The result is a vibrant dressing full of fresh citrus and herb flavors while still tasting like a perfectly balanced vinaigrette.

It only takes about 5 minutes to make and tastes great on rigatoni pasta salad and our delicious Greek orzo salad.

How to make Greek Salad Dressing

1. Use this salad dressing immediately or store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
2. Place the red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper into a bowl or jar. If you don’t have dried oregano, try rosemary, thyme, or basil instead.
3. Whisk to combine (or place a lid on the jar and shake if you’re using that method).

  ⅓ cup red wine vinegar

  ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

  2 garlic cloves

  1 tablespoon lemon zest

  1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  1 teaspoon dried oregano

  ½ teaspoon salt

  ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Notes

1. Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The olive oil may thicken when chilled, so let the dressing sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then shake well before serving.
