Mediterranean Salad Dressing

This homemade Mediterranean Salad Dressing is made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, and spices. It is fresh and delicious, so easy to make, and much healthier than store-bought dressing.

Did you know that the Mediterranean diet has been ranked #1 as the best overall diet? It has, and for good reason! Studies have consistently shown a correlation with a decreased risk of chronic disease in those who consume a Mediterranean diet.

How to make Mediterranean Salad Dressing

The process is so simple! Just mix together all of the following ingredients:

• ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 lemon juiced (about 3 Tablespoons)
• 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
• 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
• ¾ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• Black Pepper to taste

You can mix the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk, however I like to add them to a small glass jar with a lid (a mason jar works) and give it a good shake.

This dressing is fantastic on any type of salad. Today I used it as a topper for my Mediterranean Chicken Salad - so scrumptious! You could also use this Mediterranean Salad Dressing as a marinade for meats and fish too.
