Greek Salad Dressing Recipe
This homemade Greek salad dressing is incredibly simple, but packed with fresh, tangy flavor. Bonus, it is gluten free and soy free, so if you’ve got those dietary restrictions, we’ve got your back. Here’s what in it:
(Scroll below for the detailed printable recipe card below with measurements.)
- Extra-virgin olive oil: Since this is the base of the dressing, make sure you use a really high quality brand.
- Red wine vinegar: We prefer red wine vinegar over white, due to its deeper flavor.
- Lemon juice: This adds a bright, tangy flavor. Use fresh!
- Honey: This adds a very subtle sweetness to the dressing and helps balance out the acidity from the vinegar. Donโt skip it.
- Mustard: We’ve tried stoneground, yellow, and Dijon in this dressing. Dijon is our favorite, but either of the other two can be subbed in if that’s all you have.
- Garlic: Freshly minced garlic adds just the right amount of zing.
- Seasonings: Dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Feta cheese (optional): Sometimes we add some crumbled feta cheese to the mixture, depending on what we’re using it for.

How to Make Greek Salad Dressing
Simply put all of the ingredients into a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake vigorously until well blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference, if necessary. (Alternatively, you can whisk everything together in a bowl and transfer to a Carafe for serving.) For ease, you can store this dressing in the same jar used to make it, then serve it from there. This way, if thereโs anything leftover, just give it a quick shake before using again. Plus, one less bowl to clean!
Storing Homemade Greek Salad Dressing
Keep dressing stored in a glass jar, fastened with the lid, in the refrigerator. Itโs normal for the oil and vinegar to separate during storage โ just shake the jar to incorporate everything again. Itโs also normal for it to solidify a bit (store-bought dressings add emulsifiers to prevent that from happening, but thereโs no junk in this dressing.) Again, an easy fix. If your dressing does firm up, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes and then shake to incorporate again.
How long does Greek dressing last in the fridge? If stored properly, this homemade dressing will keep for up to 1 week.

I did make it ! I used some oven roasted garlic I had so it wasnโt so pungent. I would omit the lemon juice so itโs not so tangy next time. Otherwise, nice flavour profile all around.
I love following you ! You are a terrific chef and your smile makes a girls heart melt !
This is the best Greek salad dressing Iโve ever made!! We all loved it, definitely a keeper!
Delicious and easy! Loved it on garden tomatoes and cucumbers! I marinated it for only about 10 minutes in the fridge and it was excellent. Thank you for the great recipe. Served it with soulaki chicken and pita bread.
Wonderful Greek dressing! Thank you!
Excellent!
This dressing is just the best!! And so quick and easy to put together.
Best Greek dressing ever!
Today was the first time Iโve made a homemade Greek salad and this dressing was perfect! The dressing and the salad were so easy to whip up and it really hit the spot for my salad craving! Thank you for this recipe :D
Very good recipe. Iโm pretty picky about Greek dressings & donโt really like any that are in the store. Very flavorful, would recommend!!
My first home made dressing and I love it! Store bought can give me heartburn but not this, itโs so good!
This was wonderful. Will make again.
Hi Amy can i use maple syrup instead of honey?
It will obviously change the overall flavor, but sure.
Well done! Nice Salad Dressing.
