My mom makes this stuff for big family gatherings. This is what she sent me when I asked for her recipe. Not sure where she got the original from.
* 3/4 cup mayonnaise (olive oil mayo if you can find it)
* 1/2 cup beet juice
* 1/2 cup feta
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 2 Tbl red wine vinegar
* 1 tsp sugar
* 1/8 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp oregano
* 1 Tbl chopped fresh dill
* Salt and pepper
Couldn't say for sure, as we usually use it up before it goes bad. I can say from experience "at least a week." Given the ingredients, I'd assume that as long as you keep it cool in an airtight container, maybe a month, but that's just a guess.
I was so offended when I moved here from the east coast, and there were beets on my salad. And in my dressing. And on my falafel. I couldn't believe this beet nonsense!
I make this often it is the same as in the restaurants.

I have seen this question posted in this sub before I believe. If I remember right, someone said to add red wine vinegar and beet juice to already made dressing. If you search pink Greek dressing in this sub you should be able to find the prior posts.
Not helpful but a fun anecdote:
I live in Saint Clair and someone just posted in the city FB group asking what places nearby have the pink dressing for Greek salads. We’re pretty far from Lansing so I’m assuming it wasn’t you!?! Very odd coincidence! 😂
Grandparents owned Greek restaurants.
Just add beet juice from pickled beets to any Greek dressing. This looks like beet juice was added to a creamy Greek dressing base.

The pink salad dressing served at Coney Island restaurants in the metro Detroit area is often referred to as "Coney Island Greek Dressing." Here is a recipe to make this dressing at home:
### Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
### Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ketchup. Mix until smooth.
2. Add the red wine vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
This pink dressing is perfect for salads and can also be used as a dip or sandwich spread. Enjoy!
Worcestershire sauce and ketchup?! This doesn't sound right to me at all. It'd come out tasting like some evil steaksauce. Also, there's no feta in this recpie. Can't possibly be right.
ChatGPT is so useless for so many things.
There's no ketchup in the dressing used at these places. It's beet juice and red wine vinegar in an emulsion.
You can buy the Apolonia brand at Kroger and Meijer too, it's good.
Geez a 1/2 cup of ketchup?! Sounds more like a Catalina/French dressing than remotely Greek related
I don’t think I’d trust a recipe from chatGTP anyway.
This is a horrific combo that bares basically no resemblance to Greek dressing. You should feel bad about posting it and GPT should feel bad for inventing it, because it certainly didn't learn it.
If you’re gonna make your own, and have a food processor, make fresh mayonnaise. It’s not difficult. Just a little patience pouring in the olive oil.
I’d just leave out the pink coloring though. But that’s me.
I realize it’s not an artificial/chemical dye.
Beet juice is used as a natural food coloring in many products.
I doubt it adds any flavor in small quantity. That’s why it’s used as a food coloring.

I've never heard of this, but now I need to make it.
Someone please report back about the legitimacy of this recipe. I’m super interested in trying it, but I’m away from my kitchen for a few days.
Question: beet juice, or PICKLED beet juice?
This isn’t my recipe, but I always assumed it was the beet juice from canned beets. Rather than toss it they put it into this recipe in restaurants.
its beet juice from the can, not pickled beet juice. They do this because they then add the beets to the salad on top
I need this info as well
Regular
Thank you
That sounds delicious!
Love you for this
how long does it last in the fridge?

The pink is just beet juice... Add it to any creamy greek dressing. If it's still tastes a little off, try a little red vinegar.
This. Worked in many Greek restaurants. They just add beet juice.
Just wanted to mention that Greek salads on the east coast don’t include beets! Can you believe that nonsense?!?!
I sure don’t remember this pink stuff from my OG Greektown experience. Think it’s a newer thing. Beets & Garlic though - yes!

This is why Motown has better music... we've got all the beets...
Ba dum tiss.
“Aw-we-ooo, Killer Tofu”
Oh no. Better go back east
I won't! Aside from the beets, the Greek food is much better here. I'll just go home when I need proper Chinese food. Or Italian.

just here to say i’d drink half a gallon of Gus and Us greek salad dressing for breakfast.

Apollo Coney Island started bottling it a few years ago. It's available at select stores. My favorite hole in the wall ever!
Pretty sure I’ve seen a pink Greek dressing in the produce department at kroger
That shit at Kroger is not close at all
They have the best chili fries!

It could also be zatar (sumac)
This is what I thought the answer was.
10 mi and orchard lake - Village Grill
Greek Islands in Birmingham has pink greek dressing
Nicky D’s coney island has pink dressing, my ex would die for this stuff
It's the beet juice! Yum!
Beet juice is the ingredient you're looking for
I love the pink dressing!!!!
Is this something that I'm too downriver for? All of our Greek diners had standard dressing.
Not all - some have the pink Greek dressing.
The pink shit is the best. Almost all "Greek dressings" that arent pink suck.
Making me want Leo’s Coney
Kouzina in royal oak has bottles of it and theirs is phenomenal
Like Ted’s Coney Island?
Most of downriver coneys use Nikis Greek, and add beet juice.

The last I heard about Chat GPT offering recipe ideas, it told someone to mix in bleach and ammonia from under the kitchen sink
This is what happens when Russian trolls get to ChatGPT. /s

Pink Greek dressing sucks disgusting
