From Quick Guide: Salad Recipes
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Whisk and a small bowl
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 freshly squeezed lemon
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

    How to Prepare Authentic Greek Salad Dressing

  1. Step 1

    Combine salt, oregano, oil and lemon juice in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    While whisking, slowly add the olive oil to the lemon mixture. (This emulsifies the dressing, and prevents the ingredients from separating.)

  3. Step 3

    Pour over your salad of choice and serve immediately.

Tips & Warnings
  • Serve over a classic Greek salad of romaine lettuce, chunks of tomatoes, sliced red onion, feta cheese and Greek olives. Also, always use extra virgin olive oil (first press) for dressings and dips (use lesser quality for marinades and frying). Use fresh lemons instead of bottled juice. You can always add a little more lemon juice or salt to taste.
  • Always put your dressing on when you are ready to eat or you will serve a soggy salad.
