Ladolemono Recipe (Greek Olive Oil & Lemon Sauce)
The best Ladolemono recipe, a Greek olive oil and lemon sauce, perfect for salads, grilled meats, and more. Simple, healthy, and flavourful!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Greek olive oil
- ¼ cup Lemon juice roughly 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Ground pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Lemon zest
Instructions
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a measuring cup or small bowl until combined.
- Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly and emulsifies.
- Alternatively, place all ingredients in a small jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously until emulsified.
- Drizzle the dressing over grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, or salads, and enjoy!
Notes
- Traditional vs. Enhanced: Traditional ladolemono is typically made with just olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. The additions of garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest in this version take the flavour to the next level and give it that extra "wow" factor!
- Jar Method: If you prefer a mess-free option, place all ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously until well-emulsified. It’s a quick and easy way to make the dressing without whisking.
- Serving Suggestions: This dressing works beautifully as a marinade for fish, chicken, and roasted vegetables or to liven up salads with its fresh and tangy taste. Always mix/ shake before adding as it separates as it sits.
- Ingredient Quality: Using high-quality Greek olive oil and fresh lemons will make a big difference in flavour.
