All amounts may be adjusted to taste, the dressing amounts will yield just slightly over 1 cup and I strongly suggest to make the dressing in advance even better 24 hours ahead --- serve the salad with crusty bread on the side --- the dressing from my recipe#66596 also works well with this salad

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.)

Time 10m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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).

Categories Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

Steps:

With a fork, mash the cheese and buttermilk together until it resembled the consistency of cottage cheese.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Let sit, covered, in the refrigerator at least a few hours to blend flavors.
If it's too thick, just add a little milk until it's the texture you desire.
This is sooo good on a salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, slices of red onions, and kalamata or ripe olives.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dressing will taste. This is especially important for the feta cheese and the herbs.
Let the dressing marinate: Allowing the dressing to marinate for at least 30 minutes before using will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed: The dressing should be tangy, creamy, and flavorful. If it's too sour, add a little more honey. If it's too bland, add a little more salt and pepper.
Use the dressing on a variety of salads: This dressing is perfect for Greek salads, but it can also be used on other types of salads, such as spinach salads, kale salads, and quinoa salads.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days: Shake the dressing well before using.

Conclusion:

Kittencal's Creamy Greek Feta Salad Dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and tangy flavor, this dressing is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
