Traditional Greek Vinaigrette Dressing Low-Carb Recipe
PrintTraditional Greek Vinaigrette Dressing Low-Carb Recipe
I grew up in an area with a very large Greek population which meant I always had my pick of authentic Greek dishes any time I craved it (which was often). Upon marrying and moving away, I realized that I needed to learn to recreate those dishes on my own because there was no longer a plethora of Greek restaurants or groceries to choose from. This Traditional Greek Vinaigrette Dressing Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe was my first attempt at recipe creating, primarily because I don’t care for the taste of store-bought dressing. This vinaigrette can be used as a dressing or as a marinade. I like to marinate chicken in it overnight. Not only does the chicken come out flavorful, but it’s incredibly moist. Enjoy!
