Creamy Feta Dressing
Description
The "Creamy Feta Dressing" uses plain Greek yogurt and blocks of feta cheese blended together along with lemon juice, grated garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. The addition of water helps adjust thickness so the dressing spreads easily over salads or dips.
The dressing balances the creamy tang of yogurt with the salty, crumbly feta flavor. The fresh lemon juice brightens the mixture, and the garlic introduces aromatic depth. Blending until smooth produces a versatile dressing with a rich, yet fresh character.
It works well drizzled over various salads such as grilled lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, or potato salad. It provides a creamy alternative to vinaigrettes or heavier dressings.
Store the dressing in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator and use within four days for best freshness. Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or mint can be added to vary flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 6 ounces feta cheese
- lemon juice of 1
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic grated
- water up to ½ cup
Instructions
- Into a blender or the bowl of a large food processor fitted with the S-blade, add yogurt, feta, grated garlic, lemon juice, and a generous drizzle (about 3 to 4 tablespoons) good extra virgin olive oil and 2 to 3 tablespoons water. Blend until you reach the consistency of a creamy dressing, adding more water (about 1 tablespoon at a time) as needed.
Notes
- Use blocks of feta cheese preserved in brine rather than pre-crumbled varieties for better flavor and texture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or mint for variation.
- This dressing pairs well with salads featuring grilled vegetables, tomatoes, or potatoes.
- Keep refrigerated in a sealed container and consume within 4 days for optimal freshness.
