So...this creamy Feta Dressing? It's quite possibly my family's new favorite salad dressing.

It's like ranch dressing with a Mediterranean flavor profile. Or like blue cheese dressing, except significantly milder.

Ingredients

Feta Dressing is thick and creamy and silky. It's made with a wholesome, protein-packed base + plenty o' flavor!

  • Plain Greek yogurt. You can opt for whole milk, low-fat, or fat-free Greek yogurt. Just keep in mind that the higher the fat content of your yogurt, the richer the dressing will end up.
  • Feta cheese. Crumbled. A block of feta (that you crumble yourself) is recommended for the best flavor and consistency, but I have used pre-crumbled feta in a pinch and it works, too.
  • Fresh dill. Fresh dill is amazing if you can get it, but one-third the amount of dried dill may be substituted (since dried dill is three times more potent than fresh).
  • Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, + pepper. For flavor.
  • Apple cider vinegar. A little acidity helps balance the creaminess of this recipe.
  • Worcestershire sauce. Lends a subtle undertone of flavor.
  • Milk. For a just-right, pourable consistency.

How to Make Feta Dressing

(The below photos are intended to be helpful, but please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for FULL DIRECTIONS.)

It's super simple to make homemade Feta Dressing in just a few minutes!

  • Measure the ingredients into a blender or food processor (regular or mini).
  • Blend or process until the Feta Dressing is smooth and creamy. Add 1 tablespoon of milk and blend again. Then continue to add additional tablespoons of milk -- one at a time and blending in between -- until your preferred consistency is reached.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste, transfer to a bowl or jar, tightly cover, and refrigerate for a few hours before serving, to allow time for the flavors to blend.
  • If the consistency of the dressing is too thick after chilling, thin it out with a splash of additional milk. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days.
  • Ways to Enjoy Feta Dressing

    Just think of the possibilities for this creamy Feta Dressing!

    For one thing, it's really thick when you first blend it up. So if you forgo adding the milk, it would actually make a great dip for raw veggies or pita wedges (reminiscent of -- but not identical to -- my Dreamy Dill Dip...yum).

    However, thinned out and made per the recipe, this dressing is scrumptious over green salads, sliced tomatoes, or sliced cucumbers!

    Or better yet, load up a salad with your favorite Greek or Mediterranean ingredients (such as the aforementioned tomatoes and cucumbers, plus kalamata olives, red onions, bell peppers, etc.) and then drizzle with this luxurious dressing. Your salad is guaranteed to be bursting with flavor. And once done, you may even find yourself licking any remnants of dressing off your plate!

    So if you're up for adding a new homemade salad dressing recipe to your repertoire, I hope you'll give this creamy Feta Dressing a spin!

    It's easy to make...but it's impossible to resist. 🙂
