Greek Salad Dressing
When the weather warms up, it seems like everyone is happier. We want to be out and about, enjoy the outdoors, being more physically active and eat healthier. Salads tend to be eaten more so during the warmer months. I totally understand why with the abundance of fresh produce during that time.
Depending on the salads, we might use vinaigrettes or dressings. So we eat better and healthier but some will go ahead and buy these condiments at the store instead of making them from scratch. It takes a few minutes to make homemade and they definitely taste better than the commercial ones. A few more good reasons to make them in the comfort of your kitchen is you’ll be saving a lot of money plus you’re in control of the ingredients – less salt, add more zip to it, etc. Also the ingredients are fresh and there are no preservatives or artificial colors & flavors… healthy bonus!
I have many of them to choose from like my Catalina Dressing, Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette, Thousand Island Dressing, Italian Vinaigrette, Russian Dressing, and many more including this featured one… Greek Salad Dressing!
This dressing is so earthy as well as wholesome! With great ingredients, you can enjoy this flavorful condiment anytime you want! When making this recipe, I use my Greek seasoning. Same thing here… By making your own spice blend from scratch, you can recycle your spices before they go off plus there’s more intensity in the blend without the insane amount of salt added in the commercial ones. It’s a win-win situation all the way!
For my dressings or vinaigrettes, I like to make them in a 2-cup measuring cup because when it’s time to serve, it’s easier to pour over the salad. Of course, if you have guests over, I’m sure you’ll be transferring this healthy Greek Salad Dressing into a decent serving boat.
I love eating salads because they’re so good for us. With the appropriate condiment like this Greek Salad Dressing, it will make this healthy meal even healthier. Besides greens, I use it on my Greek Tuna Pasta Salad as well as my regular Greek Salad. Tasty and versatile, this condiment can also be used as a marinade for pork or chicken…
