Greek Salad Dressing (Easy 5-Minute Recipe)
Greek salad dressing is the 5-minute upgrade that makes salads, bowls, and grilled veggies taste like a Mediterranean restaurant — bright lemon, good olive oil, and a punch of herbs. Store-bought can't compete, and homemade is one shake away with one Greek seasoning.
This uses Greek Crack, our herby Greek blend, so you skip measuring oregano, garlic, and a fistful of dried herbs.
Why make your own
- 5 minutes, real ingredients. No preservatives or fillers.
- One seasoning = the whole flavor.
- Triple-duty — dressing, marinade, and dip base.
Greek Salad Dressing
Ingredients
Method
- Combine. Add everything to a jar.
- Shake. Seal and shake hard until emulsified (30 seconds).
- Taste. Adjust salt, lemon, or vinegar to your liking.
- Use or store. Drizzle now, or refrigerate up to 1 week (shake before using).
Total time: 5 minutes. Makes ~2/3 cup.
Pro tips
- Shake hard to emulsify; the Dijon helps it stay together.
- Let it sit 10 minutes so the herbs bloom into the oil.
- Bring to room temp before serving if refrigerated (olive oil thickens cold).
Ways to use it
- Classic Greek salad — cucumber, tomato, olives, feta.
- Marinade — for chicken, shrimp, or veggies.
- Grain bowls — over rice, orzo, or quinoa.
- Dip base — stir into Greek yogurt.
