Homemade Greek Dressing (Simple, Authentic & From Scratch)

Homemade Greek dressing is a classic Mediterranean salad dressing made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano that delivers bold, tangy flavor without preservatives. This easy Greek dressing recipe comes together in just minutes using pantry staples and pairs perfectly with Greek salads, chopped vegetable salads, grain bowls, and grilled chicken. If you’re looking for a simple homemade Greek salad dressing that tastes fresh and authentic, this is a staple recipe you’ll want to keep on repeat — and I’ll include exactly what I used.

Greek dressing is one of those essentials that instantly upgrades even the simplest salad. It’s bright and herbaceous, with just enough acidity to balance fresh vegetables without overpowering them. Making it at home lets you control the flavor, the quality of the oil, and the salt level, which makes a huge difference.
