Greek Salad Dressing

Save

This healthy Greek salad dressing is made with only wholesome, real ingredients — extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon, garlic, and herbs. No preservatives, no fillers, and it’s ready in under 5 minutes.

Olive oil is one of the most heart-healthy fats you can eat, and the herbs add natural anti-inflammatory benefits. This dressing tastes incredible on salads but doubles as a marinade and a vegetable drizzle.

Storage

Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The olive oil solidifies when cold — leave it out for a few minutes and shake well before using.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Greek dressing good for weight loss?

Olive oil is calorie-dense but very satiating and linked to better metabolic health in the Mediterranean diet. Use a measured amount — about 2 tbsp per serving — and it fits comfortably into a balanced, healthy diet.

Can I make this dressing vegan?

It already is! All the ingredients — olive oil, vinegar, lemon, garlic, Dijon mustard, herbs — are naturally vegan. Just check the Dijon label to confirm no honey was added.
