Creamy Feta Salad Dressing and Dip

Charmed's Note:

This makes a creamy, rich salad dressing that is also great as a dip. I found it at the Treasure Cave Cheese website.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1.5 cups

• 5 ounces feta cheese
• ¼ cup buttermilk or ¼ cup milk
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ 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

Directions:

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

Very good. My husband loved it. I thinned the dressing and used it over greens and my husband used it as a dip. For visitors I would make up little salad plates with assorted greens and drizzle the dressing.

This was just terrific and I used the fat free or lowfat versions of everything. Used it as a dressing for fruit and changed only the dill as I'm not a fan. Substituted basil and it was great. I plan to use the rest of it tomorrow on green salad. Very versatile dressing. Thanks so much, bumblebee5.

I was trying to duplicate a salad dressing from my favorite Lebanese restuarant when I found this one and tried it. THIS IS EVEN BETTER! I love feta cheese and this is the best dressing ever - my husband is not very adventerous and always orders ranch drssing but he loves this!!
