What You Will Need

- Spices (Oregano + Coriander + Garlic powder + Marjoram): love this combination of spices – they come together perfectly here!
- Garlic: always adding garlic 🙂
- Dijon mustard: this really helps round out the flavors here!
- Avocado oil: this oil-based vinaigrette uses avocado oil, but you could most likely use olive oil if you prefer.

Using Greek Vinaigrette As A Marinade
This vinaigrette is a great dressing but it also makes a marinade! We love using it as a chicken marinade but you could also use it for pork. Simply mix the ingredients together, pour it over your meat, and let is marinate for at least 30 minutes. An ideal time frame for a marinade is a few hours. Just don’t let it go longer than 24 hours.
Storing Tips
This vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for about at week. Since there are no binders in this vinaigrette, separation is completely natural. Just shake again before use.
