Provided by Jami Boys

Categories     Appetizers

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup sour cream (decrease by 1/4 c. for dressing)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt*)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove (minced)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon fresh (optional)
⅓ to ½ cup buttermilk
¾ to 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or to taste- more is better)

Steps:

  • Combine sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and all ingredients except buttermilk and feta in a pint jar or quart sized bowl and mix well.
  • Add the buttermilk slowly, stirring until desired thickness is reached (see note to thin for a dressing). Fold in the feta. If using a bowl, transfer to a jar with a lid.
  • Refrigerate one or more hours before using, and taste to adjust seasonings again.
  • Shake well before each use. This tends to get thinner as it sits in the fridge- I just add a bit more sour cream, salt & pepper if I'd like it thicker.

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY GREEK FETA SALAD DRESSING



Kittencal's Creamy Greek Feta Salad Dressing image

Plan ahead the dressing needs a few hours chilling time before serving, you may want to adjust some ingredients after you make this, I would suggest to start with the stated amounts and add in more after mixing, you may use 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese in place of the feta cheese --- if you are not a lover of garlic then I suggest to pass this by! --- servings are only esitmated.

Tips:

  • Use good quality feta cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing. Look for a feta that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Don't over-blend the dressing. You want the dressing to be creamy, but not too thick. If you over-blend it, it will become too thick and lose its light and fluffy texture.
  • Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
  • The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Use the dressing as a dip for vegetables, crackers, or pita bread. You can also use it as a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu.

Conclusion:

This creamy feta salad dressing and dip is a versatile and delicious recipe that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or picnics.
