Creamy Greek Salad Dressing image

A couple of my favorite Greek restaraunts of all time serve their salads with a creamy Greek dressing. I assumed it was a common occurance until I started searching for recipes so I could duplicate it at home. I'm so happy to have finally found one on this site (Recipe #59898)! All the non-creamy dressings are too tart for me (and believe me, I've tried several)...this one hits the spot!! The credit for this recipe should be given to evelyn/athens...mine is only a slight modification of hers. (Mine includes homemade buttermilk and less feta.)

Time 10m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 tablespoon white vinegar or 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt and pepper
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes. (This process will produce buttermilk. Alternatively, you can just use 1/2 c "real" buttermilk, but I use this method because I never have the real stuff on hand.).
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  • With the blade running, slowly pour in the buttermilk and blend just until thickened (if you over-blend, it will curdle).
  • Cover tightly and chill well before serving so the flavors have a chance to meld.
  • Dressing will keep for about 4 days (though it may need another whirl in the blender / food processor if it separates).

This dressing is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of parsley, dill, and mint in my fridge, and this dressing is a great way to use them up.

I was skeptical about using yogurt in a salad dressing, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The yogurt gives the dressing a lovely tanginess that really brightens up the salad.

This dressing is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my blender and pulsed it a few times. It was ready in less than 5 minutes!

I love the creamy texture of this dressing. It's so rich and decadent, but it's not too heavy. The perfect balance of flavors!
