Kalamata Olive and Feta Dressing is a bright, Greek-inspired salad dressing full of bold, savory flavor. It pairs beautifully with leafy greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red bell pepper, and also makes a delicious finishing touch for spinach salads, pasta salads, or simply spooned over grilled chicken.
Finely chopped Kalamata olives and crumbled feta bring salty, briny notes while a bit of honey adds gentle sweetness. Lemon juice and red wine vinegar supply bright acidity, and dried oregano gives an herbal finish. The flavors meld and improve after a short rest in the refrigerator.
This dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to one week, making it an easy make-ahead option for quick salads and meals throughout the week.
Use Olive and Feta Dressing to elevate plain grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful dip for crusty bread. Homemade dressings taste fresher than most store-bought bottles and are simple to prepare—ready in minutes and lasting several days in the fridge.
