Layer on Flavor
Greek salad dressing is zesty, tangy, and savory with a hint of spice. It's great for adding moisture and flavor to vegetables, meats or even cheeses.
The olive oil gives it a smooth, rich base, while the lemon juice adds bright acidity. The Dijon mustard gives it a subtle tang and creamy texture, and the Greek seasoning (usually a mix of oregano, garlic, onion, and herbs) brings in that classic Mediterranean flavor.
It’s fresh, bold, and well-balanced — perfect for mixed green salads, pasta salads, grilled veggies, or wraps. Try it as a marinate too!

★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
Here's a look at everything you'll need to make your own dressing.
- Olive oil. You can use avocado oil or grape seed oil if you prefer.

★ Tips & FAQs ★
Homemade Greek dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and dried Greek seasoning will typically last up to 1 week in the fridge. Because there's no vinegar or preservatives, and lemon juice is more perishable, it doesn’t last as long as vinegar-based dressings.
Tips for freshness: Store in a sealed jar or airtight container. Shake before each use, as the oil and lemon juice will naturally separate.
Yes! Red wine vinegar is a common substitute for lemon juice in Greek dressing and gives it a slightly different tang. You can also try a mix of both for added depth of flavor.
To tell if salad dressing has gone bad, check for a sour, rancid smell, unusual thickness, or separation that won’t mix back together. Discoloration, mold, or an off taste are also signs it’s no longer safe to eat. When in doubt, it’s best to toss and make a fresh batch.
