Mediterranean-Style Salad Dressing

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This recipe makes a ton of dressing but may be scaled down to half, plan ahead the dressing needs to chill for a few hours before serving, it will keep well in the fridge up to 2 weeks --- all ingredients may be adjusted to taste --- also see my Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad

YUMMM!! We really enjoyed this! The only things I did different were fresh basil (will try fresh oregano, too, once the herb garden gets a little bigger!). When I make dressings, I also make a thickened solution with water and cornstarch, then sub it completely for oil. Makes most dressing virtually fat free and works great! My hubby really enjoyed this and said I can definitely make again. Thanks so much for sharing!! :O)

Loved this dressing. I only made half a cup and wish I would have done the entire recipe. We had it with Ultimate California Moon Doggie Pizza and went great. Will be making the entire recipe next time as it will go with many other choices.

Everyone is right. This salad dressing is fabulous. I went onto google because I wanted a recipie for a mediterranean salad dressing and stumbled upon this web page for the recipie and loved it. I did not use exact measurements and I added lemon juice because I love the extra tartness in this type of salad dressing, but I truly enjoyed the combination of the spices and ingredients. I definitely will be using this recipie again. Thank you so much.
