Creamy Greek Yogurt Feta Dressing
Description
The Creamy Greek Yogurt Feta Dressing combines crumbled feta cheese with green onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, plain Greek yogurt, and herbs to create a thick and flavorful dressing. The garlic is softened by briefly cooking it in olive oil, which takes away its raw edge and integrates well into the creamy base. This dressing is processed until smooth, yielding a velvety texture that clings well to greens or can be used as a dip.
The blend of feta's saltiness and creaminess from yogurt forms the foundation, while oregano and dill add subtle herbal notes. This dressing is hearty, not too runny, and holds its shape well, making it versatile for drizzling over various dishes.
Because the recipe uses both dried and fresh ingredients, the flavor balance can be adjusted by adding more liquid or seasonings as preferred. It pairs nicely with simple salads or roasted vegetables, offering a rich creamy option beyond traditional vinaigrettes.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup feta cheese approx. 3 oz, crumbled
- 1 green onion stalk
- 3 TBSP olive oil quality
- 3 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 3 TBSP yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 TBSP water filtered
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 TBSP olive oil (seperate from above)
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp oregano dried
- ⅛ tsp dill dried
Instructions
- Using a food processor or blender, combine feta, green onion, olive oil, vinegar, yogurt, water and blend.
- To nix the bite of raw garlic, add one clove of pressed garlic to a small bowl with olive oil and microwave for 15 seconds to gently cook the garlic. Alternatively this can be done stove-top via sautéing or simply served up raw if you like your dressing with a garlicky bite!
- Add oil and garlic to dressing along with salt, oregano, and dill.
- Pulse/blend until creamy and get ready to pour this on everything!
Notes
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, crumble the feta well and whisk with the other ingredients for a rustic texture.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more water or olive oil to make the dressing thinner if desired.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried; use about double the amount and adjust to taste.
- Pressing or gently cooking garlic softens its flavor, but raw garlic can be used if a sharper taste is preferred.
