Steps:
- In a blender or food processor, whirl all the ingredients except the buttermilk for one minute.
- With the blender running, slowly pour in the buttermilk and blend until thick and creamy (turn off the blender as soon as the dressing thickens or it may curdle).
- Chill at least 1 hour so the flavours meld.
- Refrigerate, tightly covered.
- This makes nearly 2 cups of dressing and stays fresh for 3-4 days.
- If the dressing separates, just give it a whizz in the blender again.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING
This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. If you can, get them from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but a regular olive oil will also work.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of olives. Kalamata olives are a classic choice, but you could also try using green olives, black olives, or even mixed olives.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- Taste your dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
- Serve your dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
A traditional Greek salad dressing is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your favorite salads. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its fresh, tangy, and flavorful taste, it's sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
