Tips to Make Greek Salad Dressing

For extra flavor, let the dressing sit for a while before using it. This allows the ingredients to blend well.
Use fresh herbs if you have them instead of dried oregano for a fresher taste.
Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste. If you prefer less garlic, use half a clove.

You can add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat, or swap out the vegetable broth for chicken broth for a different flavor. Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can also enhance the taste.
