Kittencal's Greek Feta Salad Dressing

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Plan ahead this dressing has a 24 hour chilling time to blend the flavors, don't even think about serving this right away! this must be made on a food processor for the feta to combine properly --- the success of this dressing will highly depend on the quality of olive oil, oregano and feta cheese that you use I recommend purchasing those ingredients in a Greek grocery store --- cooking time is 24 hour refrigeration time ---- also see my highly-rated Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad --- and my mayonnaise-based Kittencal's Creamy Greek Feta Salad Dressing

We loved this! I've tried 2 other Mediterranean/Greek salad dressing recipes you have posted here, and I think this one is my favorite. I made it 7 hours before dinner, and it was still really great, so I'm excited to see what it will taste like after having the full 24 hours to chill! Thanks for another winner!

This salad dressing is tart and delicious, just the way I love it!! I did make it a couple of days before I served it on the salad, like Kitten says...it is very important to let the flavors blend before serving. My whole family loved. Thank you, Kittencal!

this is an excelent recipe...If you put it in the fridge the olive oil thickens up...I prefer not to..
