About Greek salad dressing

Greek salad dressing is a flavorful staple of Mediterranean cuisine, known for its vibrant and tangy profile. Traditionally, it consists of simple, wholesome ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, red or white wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and sometimes Dijon mustard or honey for added depth. Olive oil, the base of the dressing, is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, making it a key component of the Mediterranean diet. Vinegar and lemon juice provide acidity, aiding digestion and bringing a refreshing zest. Herbs like oregano offer anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. While Greek salad dressing is generally considered healthy, its calorie content can add up when used in large quantities due to the oil content. It's best enjoyed as a delicious accompaniment to fresh vegetables, boosting their flavor while offering nutritional benefits integral to Mediterranean cuisine.
