My local Greek restaurant has an excellent house salad dressing and they sell it by the bottle. When it settles in the bottle, it creates 3 striations: oil, pink, and darker pink. Working under the assumption that the recipe is EVOO, red wine vinegar, water, sugar and spices, any idea why that would create 3 striations? I’m trying to recreate the recipe and curious if there is something else in the dressing or if I’m just showing off my lack of chemistry fundamentals. Thanks!

awsop I think something in there has caused some emulsification of the oil and vinegar, resulting in a “3rd” layer. Maybe?

We get some from the local Greek restaurant, their separates too. Only into two layers though. No red or pink, all white in the bottle. Is red wine vinegar required?

Johnny Booth any Greek vinaigrette recipe I’ve made has had red wine vinegar. That included working at a Greek restaurant, too.

Do they use red onions in the recipe? Along with the red wine vinegar, that might amp up the color.
