Is Vinaigrette Good for You?
Like many other salad dressings, Greek vinaigrette is a healthy condiment option. And with this recipe, it’s healthier than ever! It uses fresh, nutritious ingredients and is free from preservatives, which are often present in bottled dressings you can buy at the store.
This recipe also incorporates apple cider vinegar, a superfood that boosts digestion health and helps control blood sugar levels, among other benefits. Plus, it provides an added tang that makes this dressing completely irresistible!
What You’ll Need
You don’t need anything fancy to make this classic dressing. The ingredients below give it as much flavor as one could ask for!
- Avocado Oil: Or olive oil.
- Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: You’ll need 2 tablespoons.
- Minced Garlic: You could also use garlic powder, if preferred.
- Dijon Mustard: For even more tanginess and a subtle touch of spice.
- Dried Herbs: Thyme and oregano, to be specific.
- Salt & Pepper: Added to taste.
How to Make Greek Dressing
You won’t believe how easily this condiment comes together! Here’s how to make it happen:
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients to a bowl or a medium-sized jar. Whisk or shake until combined. Alternatively, add the ingredients to a small food processor or a high-speed blender and puree until smooth.
- Taste & Adjust: Adjust any seasonings to taste, then chill the dressing in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Tips for Success
If you’re new to making salad dressing from scratch, don’t forget to check out these helpful tips. Following them will ensure a flawless result!
- Don’t Use Bottled Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is a must-have for this recipe. You won’t get that authentic lemon flavor from bottled juice.
- Adjust to Taste: Whether it needs more salt or isn’t garlicky enough for you, it’s always a good idea to taste your dressing and adjust it as desired. Just make sure you combine it well after each new addition.
- Chill if Not Serving Immediately: Since there are no preservatives present in this dressing, I wouldn’t leave it sitting at room temperature. Store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.

How to Store Homemade Dressing
Greek salad dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. Just make sure it’s in an airtight container or resealable jar. You’ll have to shake it very well before using it, especially if it’s been sitting around for a bit.
Can I Freeze This?
It’s not a great idea to store your dressing in the freezer. The ingredients tend to separate during the thawing process, and it will be nearly impossible to get them well combined again.
