• Garlic, fresh — To add a strong depth of taste.

How to Use It?

This Greek dressing recipe is quite versatile, so play around with it and see what you can come up with. Here are some of my personal favorites:

• On Greek Salad! The acidic vinaigrette complements the fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, bell pepper, rich feta cheese, and briny kalamata olives beautifully.
• On  Cucumber Tomato Salad, to be precise. Is it obvious that this dressing goes well with tomatoes and cucumbers?
• On Chopped Italian Salad. Replace the lemon vinaigrette with this Greek salad dressing.
• Any green salad would do. Drizzle it over your favorite greens for a nice side salad, or make a meal out of it by adding croutons, roasted chickpeas, hard-boiled eggs, and/or chopped fresh veggies.
• Served with roasted vegetables. After roasted cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, fennel, or potatoes have come out of the oven, spoon it over them.
• Served with grilled vegetables. Drizzling Greek salad dressing over grilled zucchini, potatoes, asparagus, corn, or veggie skewers is one of my favorite things to do.
• Alternatively, serve with cooked grains, beans, or lentils. To make a healthy side dish, toss cooked lentils, white beans, farro, or quinoa with Greek dressing and fresh herbs.
