Easiest Greek Salad Dressing

Easy and delicious dressing. Salad-haters tell me that they will eat a whole bucket of salad as long as it has this dressing on it. I have also brushed this dressing onto homemade pizza dough (in lieu of tomato sauce) when I make pizza at home. Note: If you do not have any red wine vinegar you can substitute a tablespoon of red wine (any kind will do) with a splash of regular vinegar. (Not really a new idea; just an easy substitution!)

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 2-3
• Yields: 1/3 cup

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil (or less)
• 1 -2  tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 -2  garlic clove, finely minced
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
•  kosher salt
•  fresh ground black pepper

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a small container and shake vigorously.
2. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour prior to serving (Note: this is optional - you can use the dressing right away if you want to, but it usually tastes better if you let it sit for a while.) Let dressing return to room temperature before serving.
3. For the actual salad I use baby salad greens, kalamata olives, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and goat cheese.
4. Prepare the salad/salad bowls with all of the greens, tomatoes, etc.; but wait to add the dressing until just before serving.
