Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2–3 cloves pressed or minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- pinch of dried thyme
- big pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper
For the salad, any, some, or all of the following:
- chopped romaine lettuce
- chopped green and red peppers
- chopped cucumbers
- chopped tomatoes
- sliced red onion
- feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
- peperoncini
- kalamata olives
- cooked and sliced grilled chicken (or shrimp), marinated in Greek Salad Dressing
Instructions
For the dressing:
- Combine lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, thyme and salt and pepper in bowl.
- Using a whisk, slowly stream in olive oil and whisk into vinegar mixture. You will see it thicken up a bit (emulsifying) while combining.
- Store in a jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator after using. Always give the dressing jar a couple of shakes before serving. In my opinion, best at room temperature, so take it out a few minutes before using.
For the salad:
- Make it look as pretty or messy as you want to be. Layer it nicely on a plate for presentation or toss it all in a bowl and mix it up if that’s what you are in the mood for.
