Greek Salad Dressing
Light, refreshing, spiked with garlic and fresh oregano, this flavourful dressing marries well with Greek salads and grilled meats, such as Souvlaki Chicken or pork, and grilled fish. Classically served over a Greek Salad loaded with fresh tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, olives and salty feta cheese, this dressing is also wonderful when poured over warm, cooked new potatoes, finely shredded red onion and some chopped fresh dill.
If you don’t have any red wine vinegar, replace it with lemon juice or white wine vinegar. Although the fresh oregano can be replaced with dried oregano, I would rather leave it out or add some chopped, fresh dill or parsley in its stead.
How to make Greek Salad Dressing
Collect all your ingredients together:
- garlic, peeled
- fresh oregano
- red wine vinegar
- extra virgin olive oil – ideally Greek
- caster sugar
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Crush the garlic and finely chop the oregano. Mix thoroughly with the remaining ingredients, either in a little jug ready to serve, or you can mix everything in a jam jar. Tighten the lid and shake until mixed. You’re good to go!
