ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING



Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing image

This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant!

CREAMY GREEK SALAD DRESSING



Creamy Greek Salad Dressing image

A couple of my favorite Greek restaraunts of all time serve their salads with a creamy Greek dressing. I assumed it was a common occurance until I started searching for recipes so I could duplicate it at home. I'm so happy to have finally found one on this site (Recipe #59898)! All the non-creamy dressings are too tart for me (and believe me, I've tried several)...this one hits the spot!! The credit for this recipe should be given to evelyn/athens...mine is only a slight modification of hers. (Mine includes homemade buttermilk and less feta.)

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 tablespoon white vinegar or 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt and pepper
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes. (This process will produce buttermilk. Alternatively, you can just use 1/2 c "real" buttermilk, but I use this method because I never have the real stuff on hand.).
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  • With the blade running, slowly pour in the buttermilk and blend just until thickened (if you over-blend, it will curdle).
  • Cover tightly and chill well before serving so the flavors have a chance to meld.
  • Dressing will keep for about 4 days (though it may need another whirl in the blender / food processor if it separates).
