Forget the store-bought version and make this homemade Greek salad dressing! We are big fans of homemade salad dressing on Fit Foodie Finds. Not only do they taste way better, but they are also free of preservatives and other sketchy ingredients.

Not kidding, this easy Greek salad dressing takes 10 minutes tops. All you have to do is put all the ingredients into a mason jar, shake, and enjoy this liquid gold on everything.

What You Need for Greek Dressing

  • Olive oil: The base of this dressing is made with olive oil. Make sure to use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor!
  • White wine vinegar: Adds a tangy and acidic flavor to the dressing that balances out the sweetness.
  • Minced garlic: Don’t skip the garlic! It adds a delicious, savory flavor to the dressing.
  • Honey: Adds a touch of natural sweetness that is just divine.
  • Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright and refreshing flavor to this dressing.
  • Dijon mustard: Helps emulsify the dressing and adds depth of flavor.
  • Dried oregano: This herb is essential in any Greek dressing and gives it that classic Mediterranean flavor.
  • Salt: Salt is essential for bringing out all the wonderful flavors of the dressing!
  • Mason jar: You’ll need a mason jar or something similar to mix and store your dressing in.

Can I make this dressing vegan?

Definitely! This Greek dressing is already vegetarian but can easily be made vegan by using a plant-based sweetener instead of honey, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.

All the Ways You Can Use Greek Dressing

Greek salad dressing is so incredibly delicious on a tomato and feta filled salad, but there are also many different ways you can use a Greek dressing that isn’t on a salad!

Use it as a marinade.

We love using any of these delicious dressing recipesas marinades for meat! This Greek salad dressing is a perfect marinade for chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken wings, and even beef.

All you have to do is place your protein in a bowl or bag, make a batch of this Greek dressing and pour it over the protein. Let everything sit for at least an hour (or overnight for optimum flavor) and then cook it up!
