This homemade dressing is my secret to saving those garden herbs and giving every salad a vibrant, Mediterranean lift. Fresh, zesty, and on repeat in my kitchen!

This Bright Greek Salad Dressing is my all-time favorite way to bring salads to life. It’s zesty, herb-packed, and incredibly easy to whip up with fresh dill, mint, and parsley—perfect for using up those herbs before they wilt. Inspired by the classic Green Goddess but with a Mediterranean twist, this homemade Greek salad dressing is one I keep on repeat. I usually make a jar on the weekend so I’ve got a burst of flavor ready all week long.

Ingredients of Greek Salad Dressing

  • Fresh Herbs (Dill, Mint, and Parsley): These three fresh herbs are the heart and soul of the dressing’s herbal essence.
  • Garlic Cloves: Garlic lends a subtle, savory depth to the dressing. Its presence is felt but not overpowering, making it a key component for those who appreciate a hint of garlic in their dressings.
  • Lemon Zest and Juice: The zingy brightness of lemon zest and juice awakens the dressing. It provides a vibrant citrusy note that perfectly complements the herbs and adds a layer of freshness.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The richness of extra virgin olive oil contributes to the dressing’s creamy texture and brings a fruity and slightly peppery undertone. It’s the heart and soul of Mediterranean flavors.
  • Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tang to the dressing. It’s the secret behind the luscious texture and boosts the overall richness of the flavor.
  • Feta Cheese: Feta cheese introduces a salty and tangy dimension, enhancing the dressing’s savory elements. Its crumbly texture marries well with the creaminess of Greek yogurt.

Versatile Greek Salad Dressing Uses

The creamy, tangy dressing makes it a versatile addition to any meal, and its straightforward ingredients make it a reliable choice that’s both easy to prepare and adaptable for various dishes.

  • Marinade Magic: Elevate your chicken or kabob dishes with this dressing to infuse an extra layer of flavor.
  • Salad Sensation: Drizzle it over cold pasta salad or grilled vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, cauliflower, and eggplant for a delightful twist.
  • Dip Delight: As a dip, it pairs perfectly with French fries or crispy chicken drumsticks.
