Delightful Greek Salad Dressing. I had the privilege of growing up in a home where almost everything was homemade. My mom is an excellent cook, as Iโve mentioned before, and she has passed down many wonderful recipes I now use in my own kitchen.
Since so many of the items I grew up with were homemade, I sometimes have a difficult time eating โalready preparedโ versions of some foods. One of those foods I prefer to have homemade is salad dressing, like Greek salad dressing. Salad dressings are really easy to make, and you can whip them in less than 5 minutes.
They donโt contain any preservatives but will also last in the fridge for several weeks. In the coming months, I plan to share a Greek Salad Dressing with you. This version of Greek salad dressing has an oil and vinegar base instead of a cream base, which I prefer. I throw some lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, feta and black olives in a bowl, top it with this dressing and some chicken breast, and you have a simple and healthy yet delicious meal.
