I’m excited to be participating in the It’s All Greek to Me Anniversary Tour and sharing a simple and delicious Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing that’s perfect for salads, marinades and more. And it’s a clean eating recipe, too!
I was able to review the It’s All Greek to Me Cookbook several months ago. As we’ve tried recipes from the cookbook, my family has found that we lo-ove Greek food. Opa! Two of our favorite recipes are the Spanakopita Spinach Feta Pie and the Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing.
You can whip this Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing up in minutes, which is great because we’re making it often in our home.
I love that this Greek Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing is a clean eating recipe. My family started moving towards clean(er) eating about two years ago. I look for ways to reduce the additives in our food. There’s more than enough junk in our world, I don’t need to add it into our diet and foods, too.
Clean Eating Greek Lemon Olive Oil Salad Dressing
An easy way to start clean eating is to start with your salad dressings. It just makes sense to put a clean eating dressing on your naturally clean eating salad. And making this dressing only takes minutes, so it’s an easy ways to start cleaning up your food.
The dressing is so light and fresh tasting. It was delicious on a salad. We’ve also used it as a wonderful marinade for steak and chicken.
And it would also be amazing drizzled over fresh veggies as a snack.
Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing Clean Eating Recipe
- 4 to 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 to 3 lemons), depending on how tangy you like it
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic (if using). Then very slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly to emulsify. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

I love this cookbook. The recipes all use fresh, natural ingredients that I’d love to make and the information about Greece, along with Debbie’s tips are wonderful bonuses! This dressing is the perfect representation of the cookbook – simple, flavorful, and wholesome. I love the idea of using it as a marinade!

I learned about the Mediterranean diet when Big was in the hospital a couple of years ago. I have been adding more dishes like this to our menu. This salad dressing is perfect because it is easy to make and I know it would be so fresh tasting!

Greek food is one of our favorites and my kids love it when I make greek salad, especially when you add some yummy grilled chicken on top.
crystal gibson says
I would use the lemon olive oil as a marinade for chicken breast before grilling. We love Greek food but we don’t get it very often. About a month ago I made a big Greek meal for my daughter. I made gyro meat, saffron rice, pitas and a big salad with black olives and homemade yogurt sauce. It was very complicated but delicious.

Crystal, that meal sounds amazing! I’m sure your daughter appreciated it a lot. (feel free to invite me over next time you tackle a big Greek meal!)
