Say goodbye to sad salads forever! This Greek salad dressing recipe is zingy and bright, and you likely have all the ingredients in your pantry already.

Greek salad dressing

I first made this Greek salad dressing recipe to toss with a traditional Greek Salad, but once I had it on hand, I discovered that it tastes fantastic on so much more! It’s zingy, tangy, and bright – perfect for livening up side salads or making roasted veggies more exciting. The recipe calls for a handful of simple ingredients, so it’s easy to whip up at a moment’s notice. And once you’ve made it, it keeps for up to 5 days in the fridge!

If you ask me, everyone should have this Greek salad dressing recipe in their back pocket. Easy, healthy, and delicious, it’s just as at home on a weeknight grain bowl as it is on a special occasion salad. Try it once, and you’ll make it over and over.

    Does this dressing keep in the fridge at all? I love this dressing and like to make a decent amount of it!? Not to sure how it would keep though?

    Very good. I use an immersion blender to make it very creamy and add a couple more cloves of garlic.

    Does this have to be refrigerated? I’ve noticed when I refrigerate it, it’s clumps up 🙁

      You just need to take it out about 30 min before using it. But yes, it should stay in the fridge.
