Yiayia’s Greek Salad Dressing

This is my yiayia’s Greek salad dressing. Very yummy and it’s all about good quality oregano and olive oil. Pour this over a big Greek salad and enjoy.

 

Yiayia’s Greek Salad Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons of fresh orange juice
  • 1 clove of garlic- minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of freshly dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and ground pepper

Directions:
Place all ingredients into a salad dressing jar and shake. Make sure you shake enough to combine. Place in refrigerator chill for about 1 hour so the flavors come together. Serve over salad or perhaps dip your favorite bread inside this dressing!

 

Kali Orexi!

 

Notes:

  • If you want to leave out the honey or maple syrup, that is fine. This is to balance the acidity and give it a slight sweetness.
  • The orange is perfect in this salad for a bit of citrus and sweetness. Us Maniates LOVE orange!
  • Adding a tablespoon of dijon mustard to the mix makes this dressing pop!
  • The longer the dressing chills in the refrigerator the better.
  • This dressing works really well with everything! Pour it over any salad, or use it in a wrap, or drizzle over cooked vegetables.
