    Chef's Notes and Tips

    Here are some helpful tips to help your Greek Salad Dressing turn out perfect every time:
    • Vinegar Variety: While red wine vinegar is classic, experimenting with white wine, balsamic, or apple cider vinegar can add unique twists. Remember, the quality of the vinegar is crucial for the best flavor.
    • Fresh Garlic : Fresh garlic is key. For the most robust flavor, finely mince it or use a garlic press for even distribution throughout the dressing.
    • Chili Flakes: If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle in some chili flakes to add a spicy kick to the dressing.
    • Oregano’s Aroma: To fully enjoy the fragrance of dried oregano, rub the leaves between your palms before adding them to your dressing. This releases the essential oils and intensifies the aroma, enhancing the flavor.
    • Salt Addition: Note that salt is included in this recipe. If you plan to use this dressing on dishes that will also have salt added, be sure to adjust the amount to avoid oversalting.
    • Emulsification is Key: Whisk vigorously or use a blender to ensure the oil and vinegar blend smoothly. Give it another whisk before serving as separation may occur over time.
    • Flavor Balance: Adjust the dressing to suit your taste. Add more vinegar for extra tanginess, more garlic for depth, or tweak the seasoning with salt and pepper to achieve your preferred flavor balance.
    • Rest and Integrate: After preparing, let the dressing sit for 15-30 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend well, enhancing the overall taste.

    Serving Suggestions

    Greek Salad Dressing is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. Here are my top serving ideas to explore:

    • Classic Greek Salad: Ideal for a traditional Greek Salad. Toss together lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese, and finish with a generous drizzle of this dressing.
    • Chicken or Shrimp: Use it as a marinade for poultry and seafood. It adds a tangy twist to roasted chicken, baked drumsticks, thighs, or grilled shrimp, enhancing their smoky flavors.
    • Roasted Vegetables: Add a Mediterranean flair to roasted veggies like cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers, or eggplant with a splash of this dressing.
    • Dips: Try this dressing as a refreshing dip for warm pita bread or crispy falafel.
    • Gyros or Souvlaki Wraps: Incorporate a dollop of this dressing in gyros or souvlaki wraps to complement the grilled meats and veggies.
    • Quinoa or Grain Bowls: Drizzle it over quinoa or grain bowls to boost the flavor, pairing perfectly with toppings like roasted veggies, chickpeas, olives, and feta.
    • Mezze Platter: Add it to a mezze platter with dips like hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush for a tangy, flavorful kick.

    Storage Suggestions

    To keep your Greek Salad Dressing tasting fresh, I suggest storing it in a sealed jar or container in the refrigerator. It stays perfectly good for about a week. Just a little tip—remember to give it a good shake or a quick whisk before use, as it’s natural for the ingredients to separate. For the best flavor, let it come to room temperature before serving.
