Why buy storebought salad dressings, loaded with preservatives, when you can actually make a delicious one at home? This Healthy, Homemade Greek Vinegraitte (salad dressing) requires only a few ingredients and a bit of whisking to make. Then you can pour it on top of your favorite salad to load it with flavor or store in the fridge for later use.
This Greek Vinaigrette is very refreshing, light, and slightly creamy. Made with mustard, Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, fresh garlic, dried oregano, and extra virgin olive oil. It's not a traditional Greek recipe but is full of Greek flavors.
This Greek Vinaigrette goes best with all types of crunchy Green salads. And feels very appetizing and refreshing because of the garlic and red wine vinegar.
Don't miss out this Cleansing Greek Lettuce Salad that's made with a similar light and refreshing dressing.
I always make this vinaigrette using extra virgin Greek olive oil. It adds so much flavor, it helps thicken the dressing, and it's super healthy as it's completely unrefined, unlike other vegetable oils.
This flavorful vinaigrette can also be used as a meat marinade. It will add a nice boost of flavor to souvlaki or grilled chicken. The acidity of the mustard and vinegar will tenderize the meat, while the oregano and garlic will make it taste divine!

Hello
Wondering what type of mustard you use in your dressing as there's so many choices out there. I'm guessing it would be Dijon?
Thank you
Hi Joycelyn, I'm using just classic yellow mustard. Dijon is good to use as well.
Wonderful dressing. I love the touch of creaminess added by the yogurt and mustard. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you, Vivian. Lovely to hear that 🙂
