How to Use Greek Dressing
This Greek dressing recipe is really versatile, so have fun experimenting with different ways to use it. Here are a few of my favorites:
- On my easy Greek Salad! I love how the tangy dressing plays off the fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, bell pepper, rich feta cheese, and briny kalamata olives.
- On my Cucumber Tomato Salad. Can you tell that this dressing tastes great with tomatoes and cucumbers?
- On my Italian Chopped Salad. Substitute this Greek salad dressing for the lemon vinaigrette.
- On any green salad. Drizzle it over your favorite greens to make a tasty side salad, or add croutons, roasted chickpeas, hard boiled eggs, and/or chopped fresh veggies to make it a meal.
- On roasted veggies. Spoon it onto roasted cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, fennel, or potatoes after they come out of the oven.
- On grilled veggies. I love drizzling Greek salad dressing over grilled zucchini, potatoes, asparagus, corn, or grilled veggie skewers.
- Or on cooked grains, beans, or lentils. Toss cooked lentils, white beans, farro, or quinoa with Greek dressing and fresh herbs to make a hearty side dish.

This was so delicious! I didn’t have red wine vinegar so I subbed White Balsamic, and just a blob of honey as others mentioned. A lot of other recipes use feta which can make it too salty for me. This may become my favorite everyday dressing! Another great recipe from your site—thank you!
Very good. Added a touch of honey. Never had lettuce in a Greek salad, here or in Greece. English Cucumbers, black olives, peppers, cherry or cocktail tomatoes, sweet or red onions and brined feta cheese. Excellent recipe, thank you!
So glad you loved it, Holly!
