I’ve been making variations on this homemade Greek dressing recipe for 22 years. I worked in a Greek-run restaurant for 8 years, which is where I first learned how to cook in restaurants.
My favorite thing on the menu was the Greek food.
From a traditional Greek salad with cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, feta cheese, crispy cucumbers, Kalamata olives (from Kalamata, Greece – I’ve been there!), topped with the classic Greek Vinaigrette, to the Gyros with Tzatziki, tomato, and red onion.
Greek food is a delight from start to finish and I loved every moment of my trip to Greece and can’t wait to go back, especially since I recently found out I am part Greek.
But back to this simple Greek salad dressing – it’s easy, made with simple fresh ingredients, great for meal prep, and above all absolutely delicious. You can enjoy this simple dressing on anything from a delicious vegan Greek salad to your favorite Mediterranean Buddha bowl.
Once you make your own dressing, you won’t believe how easy it is and you won’t want to go back to store-bought dressings after tasting homemade salad dressings.

Make sure to taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper. You can customize the dressing by adding more oil if it’s too acidic for you. You can make it bit spicy by adding some red pepper flakes. You can also add more herbs like dried basil or dried marjoram.
