Creamy Feta Salad Dressing and Dip image

Provided by Charmed

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

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:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality feta cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and has a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Use a variety of herbs in your dressing. This will give it a more complex flavor. Some good options include oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Use good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing.
  • Be sure to whisk the dressing well before using. This will help to emulsify the oil and vinegar and prevent the dressing from separating.
  • Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Conclusion:

Greek Feta Salad Dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is also a great marinade for chicken, fish, and vegetables. With its tangy, creamy, and herbaceous flavor, it is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
