Easy Homemade Greek Salad Dressing (5 Minutes)

If you're looking for a simple Greek salad dressing that's absolutely delicious and takes just five minutes to make, this is the one. 🙂 You'll need just a few basic pantry ingredients, and you can shake it all up in a small jar to serve or store. (And if you don't have red wine vinegar on hand, not to worry; I've included several easy substitutions that work beautifully in this recipe.)

Whether you're tossing together a quick Greek salad for two or looking for a simple homemade dressing to keep in the fridge, this easy vinaigrette is one of those versatile recipes that solves both problems.

For this recipe, I used olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and Dijon mustard as the base which gives it a nice bold, balanced flavor. And the oregano and fresh garlic give it that zesty pop that truly brightens up any salad or Mediterranean bowl. This dressing is fantastic for solo cooking since it makes just four servings, and it's also a great way to meal prep salads for the week.

Pro tip: Besides its leading role as a great salad dressing, this vinaigrette can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish, and it's awesome for either.

🌿 Ingredients

This simple Greek dressing is incredibly flexible if you need to swap or drop something. Feel free to make any of the following substitutions:

• Red wine vinegar - apple cider vinegar is a great substitute; you can also use white wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, or just use extra lemon juice
• Olive oil - substitute avocado oil or canola oil instead
• Fresh lemon juice - fresh is best, but you could also substitute bottled, add a little lemon zest, or simply leave out
• Dijon mustard - you can safely leave out if you don't have any on hand
• Garlic - feel free to use a little garlic powder instead if you don't have fresh garlic
