What is a Greek salad dressing?

A classic Greek salad dressing is typically made from a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper. The proportions of these ingredients can vary according to personal preference or regional style. Sometimes additional herbs like fresh parsley or mint are also added. The dressing is usually whisked or shaken together to emulsify the ingredients and create a smooth, slightly creamy consistency. Greek salad dressing is often used to dress traditional Greek salads made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese, but it can be equally delicious on other salads or as a marinade for grilled meats or vegetables.
