The variations on these types of vinegar will give an entirely different taste and aroma to your Greek Salad.

Red Wine Vinegar Greek Salad Dressing

For a zesty, flavorful Greek salad dressing, red wine vinegar offers a tartness. Greek-style yogurt adds creamy richness. Balance out the flavors with garlic, lemon juice, oregano, sea salt, and pepper. To take it up a notch, consider Dijon mustard, honey, or parsley/basil.

Balsamic Vinegar Greek Salad Dressing

Balsamic Vinaigrette adds sweet, sour flavors to Greek Salad. It balances the bitterness of feta cheese, Kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes. The dressing is an incredibly versatile one, that can be used in Caprese salad or mixed greens with strawberries. For a creamier texture, add mayonnaise and mustard. Chill the vinaigrette before serving and store it for up to two weeks in an airtight container.

Spice up your salad dressings by trying different types of vinegar instead of just Balsamic!

Apple Cider Vinegar Greek Salad Dressing

For a special Greek salad dressing, apple cider vinegar is the perfect choice! Its natural sweetness adds a tangy flavor and enhances the overall profile. To make it, get a bowl and add in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle in some olive oil while whisking everything until combined. Then, slowly add in the apple cider vinegar until it has fully emulsified. Ready? Use it right away or store it in an airtight container for later.

Apple cider vinegar not only elevates the flavor of dressings, but it also has health benefits like aiding digestion and improving insulin sensitivity. However, large amounts can have negative effects like acidic reflux or tooth enamel erosion.
