This easy Greek salad dressing is tangy, herby, and full of Mediterranean flavour. Made in minutes with simple ingredients, this small-batch dressing is perfect for a Greek salad, Greek Pasta Salad, roasted vegetables, in this Greek Wraps Recipe, or in grain bowls, to name a few dishes.

📋 What You Need
Here are the simple ingredients for this delicious small-batch dressing with the flavours of Greece. The full ingredient list and method are in the recipe card.
- Mustard - I like to use wholegrain mustard for this citrusy dressing, but you could use dijon mustard or American yellow mustard; of course, it will change the colour of this salad dressing
- Parsley - the fresh parsley is optional; you could add dried parsley instead
- White wine vinegar - you could use apple cider vinegar instead

Jac's Top Tip
💭 Taste to check the seasoning
Taste the seasoning before adding it to a salad, a wrap or roast veg. The balance of oil, vinegar, lemon and mustard can be adjusted to suit you.
How to Use Greek Salad Dressing
Here are a few ideas for using this small-batch vegan Greek dressing. Of course it's perfect drizzled over a salad of ripe tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, red onion, olives and salty vegan feta, but here are more ideas for serving it.
- Drizzled in a Greek Salad Wrap
- Tossed through a green salad
- To dress a Greek Pasta Salad
- As an alternative to a creamy dressing for coleslaw, try using this easy dressing in this Beet Slaw
- Add to a Dill Potato Salad instead of a creamy dressing
- Drizzle over freshly roasted vegetables and add them to a wrap, sandwiches, pasta, or serve with herby couscous (it's good as a dressing for this Lentil Couscous Salad
- Serve with crusty bread for dipping as an alternative to olive oil and balsamic vinegar
👩🏻🍳 Can I Make it Ahead?
Yes, store the dressing in a clear airtight jar with a tight lid, in the fridge.
Because oil can solidify when chilled, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using and give it a good shake to mix it well, as homemade vinaigrette like this can separate.
For the best flavour, make and use within a week.
💭 FAQs
Add more olive oil to balance out the flavours, or you could add a little maple syrup.
Probably too much olive oil; try adding some extra lemon juice or vinegar.
It's normal for dressings to separate as they sit; just give them a good whisk or a good shake with the lid tightly on to mix well.
You can add dried garlic, but fresh garlic gives a better flavour.
If you keep it in the fridge, it will be ok for a week; creamy dressing doesn't last as long generally.
Yes, just double or triple the ingredients; the recipe card has a function to show you how much you need for a bigger quantity.

We've not been to Greece but had many amazing Greek salads in the south of Cypris which is Greek. The dressing makes all the difference.

Such great timing! I had planned a salad for lunch and I was just going to squeeze some lemon juice on it as I don't have any dressing. Jill
