About the dish:
Greek dressing is a tangy and flavorful dressing that is commonly used in Greek salads or as a marinade for meats and vegetables. It combines the bright flavors of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, and herbs with the richness of extra virgin olive oil. Here's a recipe to make Greek dressing:
Recipe:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
- Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Whisk again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Season the Greek dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper based on your preference.
- Give the dressing a taste and adjust the flavors if needed. You can add more lemon juice for acidity, more vinegar for tanginess, or more honey for sweetness.
- Transfer the Greek dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before using. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together.
- Before using the dressing, give it a good shake or stir to recombine any separated ingredients.
- Greek dressing has a vibrant and zesty flavor profile with hints of garlic and oregano. The combination of the olive oil, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar provides a refreshing and tangy taste that pairs perfectly with fresh salads, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.
