Greek salad has become an international culinary hit thanks to its amazing taste, which, in turn, can only be achieved through proper preparation of the dressing. Since many variants of this dish have appeared, there are very different opinions about its composition. However, in any case, a Greek salad dressing cannot be considered “correct” if it does not contain the basic component - olive oil.
The current women's online magazine “The Beautiful Half” tells what results can be achieved if you prepare a dressing for Greek salad in the following variations:
- with lemon juice;
- with vinegar;
- with soy sauce;
- with garlic.
What should you use to dress a Greek salad?
To begin with, we recommend reading the article on the pages of our magazine about how to prepare Greek salad - from it it will become clear what this dish is in its classic form and what it is eaten with. In Greece, such a salad is dressed exclusively with olive oil, sometimes without adding anything to it except oregano and basil, as well as a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. It is strictly not recommended to use sunflower or any other oil when preparing this appetizer, otherwise the traditional exquisite taste of the salad will change beyond recognition.
Feta or fetax cheese is also considered part of the dressing: it is usually cut into cubes and placed on top of the finished dish. Feta has a very soft and delicate texture: while you and your guests or household members are enjoying the Greek salad, it will begin to partially dissolve in the oil and you will get some kind of cheese sauce. It will, of course, be significantly different from spaghetti sauce, which also contains cheese, but you can fall in love with it once and for all.
Greek salad becomes piquant and tastier when it contains some kind of acid. That’s why quite often recipes include lemon juice, various types of vinegar, and soy sauce. Some gourmets believe that it is quite appropriate to season a Greek salad with a tablespoon of pomegranate juice or the famous Georgian tkemali sauce. And now we present to your attention several recipes for dressing for a delicious Greek salad and accompanying comments to them.
Dressing for Greek salad with lemon juice Olive oil and lemon juice are mixed in a 2:1 ratio. If you get about 500 g of salad, then the dressing should be prepared from 3 tablespoons of oil and 1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice. Salt and ground black pepper are dissolved directly in this mixture. Finely chopped herbs (basil, oregano, dill, parsley), you can also add the dressing mixture directly. After that, it is poured onto the vegetables and mixed, and the salad is decorated with cubes of feta cheese on top.
Greek salad dressing with vinegar
Regular white table vinegar is, in principle, suitable for such a dressing, but, if possible, it is better to use apple, wine or balsamic vinegar. They are much healthier than alcohol. Apple cider vinegar has a wonderful mild taste, which combines many pleasant shades. Wine vinegar is made from fermented wine, so there is no doubt about the naturalness of this product. The raw material for balsamic vinegar is grape juice.
Vinegar is diluted with olive oil in the same proportions as lemon juice - 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil.
Dressing for Greek salad at home is the most important element in preparing the dish. After all, a properly executed dressing can highlight the taste of vegetables and introduce new nuances and aroma.
For those who love Greek salad and have already tried it many times with the classic sauce, don’t stop and experiment with different additives and spices, each time choosing new ingredients to suit your taste and mood. However, incorrectly selected oil or excess spices can irreversibly ruin the salad. Therefore, there are simple rules for preparing salad sauces.
Dressings for Greek salad should always contain acid - balsamic, red vinegar, white vinegar, lemon juice, boiled apple juice.
We will provide recipe options for dressings that will help make the dish more varied and help you find your favorite flavor combination.
