Skinny Greek Vinaigrette
Ah, greek salads have to be one of my most favorite salads. In fact, I was so set on them that I burned myself out for a good year or two. Sad. I know. How can you burn yourself out on a favorite thing? Well, easily if you eat it every day for nearly half a year!
I'm not sure where it was that I had my first ever greek salad... but I know that it was an eye opening. I think it was even the first time that I'd ever had feta cheese. Another favorite thing that I keep close to my heart. Mm... feta...
Most of the greek dressings that I've had, used, bought over the years have been pretty good. I can't say that I've ever come across one that I didn't like. But, lately I've been on a homemade salad dressing kick, so I figured... why not a greek one?
Easy enough. Right? Blah!
I ended up making this more than once to get what I wanted out of it.
Yes. Even I make mistakes in the kitchen. Lots of them too!
I put my dressing over a nice greek salad and served it with a side of pita bread and some yummy hummus, but this vinaigrette would make for a great marinade for chicken too!
