ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING



Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing image

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!

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 -2 garlic clove, minced fine (depending on how strong you want your dressing)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (mediterranean)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dressing will taste. Try to use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't skimp on the olive oil: Olive oil is the base of Greek dressing, so don't be afraid to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for flavor and health benefits.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Greek dressing is traditionally made with oregano, thyme, and rosemary. However, you can also use other herbs, such as basil, mint, or dill. Experiment until you find a combination that you like.
  • Add some lemon juice: Lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to Greek dressing. You can also use red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, but lemon juice is the traditional choice.
  • Season to taste: Once you've made the dressing, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Greek dressing is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's also a healthy choice, as it's made with heart-healthy olive oil and fresh herbs. So next time you're looking for a salad dressing, give Greek dressing a try. You won't be disappointed.
