How to Make Greek Vinaigrette Or Marinade

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano.
  2. Whisk vigorously until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more water for a thinner consistency or more olive oil for a thicker dressing.
  4. For a salad dressing, drizzle generously over your favorite greens. For a marinade, place chicken or shrimp in a resealable bag with the vinaigrette, ensuring they're fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator) before grilling, baking, or pan-frying.
