There’s not much simpler than a basic Greek style Vinaigrette – and it only tastes better the next day and after that!  A little bit goes a long way.

The photo’s cropped from my Roasted Chicken with Red Grapes – sorry I didn’t think to show the salad in its entirety before I served it up!

Riff on Greek salad.

Recipe:  Greek Dressing,  1 cup, cost about 70 cents.

  • 3/4 cup of Greek extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup of good quality red wine vinegar
    1 1/2 teaspoons of crushed Greek oregano
    1 teaspoon of salt
    a pinch of pepper.

Whisk together in a bowl, or place in a tightly covered jar and shake to combine. The dressing will turn a light color with a creamy texture as the oil and vinegar combine.

Put your Own Spin on It:

  • Use lemon instead of vinegar, or vary the herbs to your taste:  try using an equal amount of Greek Seasoning instead of the oregano.
  • Use over salads:  Tomatoes, cucumbers, red bell peppers, olives and feta cheese – combined with Romaine or not.
  • Use in Pasta Salads, too, with the above vegetables.
