CREAMY GREEK SALAD DRESSING
Greek salads are usually only dressed with olive oil and maybe lemon juice or red-wine vinegar. But this dressing is made of 'Greek' ingredients so, it's my Greek Dressing.

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY GREEK FETA SALAD DRESSING
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.

CREAMY GREEK SALAD DRESSING
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.)

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).

GREEK LAMB SALAD WITH A CREAMY YOGURT DRESSING
I have had this recipe for years and originally think it came from one of those small grocery store check out counter cookbooks. Back in the days, I hand wrote recipes I liked and often tossed the rest of the book. Even when I catered, I wrote each recipe by hand - crazy I know. Well, I am slowly going through a few old boxes and found this last night. I love lamb and Greek flavors and this just makes a great main dish salad. I use to rate my recipes and this has 4 stars which meant great, so I hope I feel the same way. I love salads and often have them for dinner, maybe with a cup of soup or just a nice slice of bread. It is a good way to eat your protein, vegetables with a bit lighter approach. For this particular recipe, I prefer a mix of mostly spinach with just a little romaine for crunch, but you can really use any mix you want. Grilled lamb (or pan seared), chickpeas, cucumber, red onion, garlic, olives, raisins and of course the yogurt dressing for a nice twist on an average salad. You can garnish with feta cheese if you like. Serve with grilled pita chips.

Steps:
- Lamb -- Mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, fresh rosemary, oregano and red pepper flakes in a baggie and add the lamb. I like to marinade the lamb at least 2-3 hours. Remove from the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you make the dressing and the salad.
- Dressing -- Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and zest, honey, scallions, garlic, salt, pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Salad -- In a large bowl, add the lettuce, cucumber, olives, and chickpeas and toss well. Reserve the cherries and raisins for the topping as well as feta cheese which is optional.
- Lamb -- The lamb already has some olive oil in the marinade, so I spray a grill pan or saute pan just with Pam or a non-stick spray and grill on medium high to high heat. They literally, just take a minute or two on each side. I like my meat medium rare.
- Finish -- Add the warm grilled lamb to the salad, add the chilled yogurt dressing, toss lightly, garnish with the cherries and raisins.
- Feta cheese is another optional garnish which I like just a little, but it is optional. And Grilled pia chips are perfect with this as well.
Tips:
- For a thicker dressing, use less olive oil. - For a tangier dressing, use more lemon juice. - Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor. - If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1/2 teaspoon of dried herbs. - Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.Conclusion:
This creamy Greek dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used on salads, grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables. It's also a great dipping sauce for pita bread or crackers. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and fresh herbs, this dressing is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing, give this creamy Greek dressing a try!
