Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Sweetener

  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and red wine vinegar until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, forming the rich foundation of your dressing.
  2. Add the Herbs and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to infuse the dressing with bold, authentic Greek flavors.
  3. Sweeten and Adjust: Add honey or agave in small amounts while mixing well to balance the acidity with a subtle sweetness. Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences for perfect flavor harmony.
  4. Chill and Let Flavors Meld: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to deepen and marry beautifully.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer and creamier texture.
  • Always freshly squeeze lemon juice rather than using bottled for optimal brightness.
  • Hand-whisk the dressing to maintain a light, airy texture; avoid blending.
  • Adjust consistency by thinning with a splash of water or extra olive oil if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week and stir before use.
