Instructions

  • Set the olive oil aside and combine all remaining ingredients.
  • Slowly stir in the olive oil. Do this very gradually so that it emulsifies, which prevents the dressing from separating. Serve immediately over Greek Salad, or chill for up to 1 week prior to serving.

Notes

Pro Tips:
  • Be sure to use a high quality olive oil that is made for salads and marinades. It should indicate this right on the front label. I use Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  • Aside from being used as a dressing for Greek Salad, this also makes a wonderful chicken marinade.
  • If your dressing separates in spite of your attempts to emulsify the olive oil, simply shake it prior to serving.
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar adds a nice flavor to this as well, if you have it on hand. I've made it both ways, and both ways are delicious.
  • 1-2 tablespoons of Grated Parmesan, Romano, or finely crumbled Feta also makes a nice addition to this recipe. 
  • If your olive oil solidifies during storage: Let it sit at room temperature until it liquifies, then shake to combine and serve. It may also become cloudy but is still safe. This may or may not happen, and depends on the type of olive oil used.
