Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making this Greek salad dressing is to always use fresh lemon juice. I grab a lemon, cut it in half, and squeeze it right into the bowl just before mixing the dressing. It makes the flavor brighter and cleaner, and it really ties all the other ingredients together. I’ve tried bottled lemon juice before, and it’s just not the same. Fresh lemon juice has a natural zing that wakes up the whole salad, and it is completely worth it.
- Whisk or shake well: I either whisk it in a bowl or shake it in a jar for at least 20 seconds so the oil and vinegar blend nicely.
- Let it rest: If I have the time, I let the dressing sit for 10 minutes before serving so the flavors can mingle.
- Adjust to taste: Sometimes I add a pinch more oregano or an extra splash of vinegar depending on the salad I’m making.
- Store properly: I keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge and always give it a good shake before using again.
