Mediterranean / Greek salad Dressing

northGAcock

I am looking for a recipe for a homemade Greek Salad Dressing. My experience with eating them out, there is quite a variety out there. I would like to start with some of your favorites if you would share. Thanks in advance.

paqman

2 parts olive oil
1 part cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

Lots of garlic

Equal parts of (1 teaspoon?):
Salt
Black Pepper
Oregano
Thyme

A little:
Marjoram

Add a few teaspoons of the spice mix to the oil/vinegar mixture and add some more until you are happy with how it tastes.

Coming from a Greek guy, White Vinegar or White Wine Vinegar depending on your tastes, some like a little lemon juice as well. Paqman is spot on with the spices.

I use this recipe, which is similar to @paqman

2 fresh garlic cloves, minced then crushed

1⁄4 teaspoon salt 

1 1⁄2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 

1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (not bottled)

1⁄2 teaspoon sugar

5 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1⁄2 teaspoon basil @paqman
1/4 teaspoon of oregeno

Mix all the ingredients together and whisk until blended. Makes about a cup or so.

Typical oil to vinegar ratio is 5:1. My base is this using the best oil I can afford at the time, salt & pepper and dijon mustard. Herbs / garlic etc. give variation.

I have no idea if this authentic...but try adding anchovy paste.  I got the idea from a Mellow Mushroom copycat recipe. I asked someone that worked there and they tipped me off that the anchovy paste is what turns their dressing into crack.

i like eoin's ratio but would sub out the vinegar with lemon.  i dont eat lettuce either   make a tabbouleh salad instead and eat it with a good syrian bread , some labne in there wouldnt hurt. might be todays lunch

What pagman said but for a little difference add toasted sesame seeds and sumac. That makes it zaatar.
