In making salads that the whole family embraces, I find that creamy salad dressings go a long way. My kids love buttermilk ranch and Caesar, and every time I make this creamy feta dressing, my normally salad-averse husband suggests that I bottle it up and sell it. (He would love to retire and play golf every day, so he has lots of great ideas for me ?.)

A little tangy, a little salty, and a whole lot delicious, this dressing is basically a “drizzle-able” version of my popular creamy whipped feta dip. It’s excellent over any combination of tomatoes, bell peppers, cukes, olives, fresh herbs, and (yes) more feta.

  • Good recipe. I used a feta made from sheep’s milk. This is a winner!

  • This Creamy Feta Dressing tastes amazing but it also has a fabulous texture. I made 1/2 of the recipe in a mini blender and it was enough for two salads with a small jar left over for later. My husband raved about it.

  • This recipe is TOO good! I’ve never had a craving for a salad dressing before, but I have made this one for just that reason. And I’ve eaten it with a spoon…. And I suspect others have done the same, if they would admit it.

  • This is a great dressing. It need more acid IMO. Added about 2 TBSP of white wine vinegar. Wow!

  • Made this tonight in a pinch because my wife wanted takeout pizza and I wanted wings but I didn’t want boring pizza joint ranch or blue cheese dressing dip. Made as written except I added a 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and a 1/2 tsp of sugar. Most delicious salad dressing I have ever had.

  • A-MAZ-ING!!! This dressing is shockingly delicious. I tasted it out of the food processor and went “Whoa!” Paired it with a salad of tomato, yellow bell peppers, cucumber, and slivered red onion as shown in the picture. I tossed the cucumber, tomato, and onion with a little salt and olive oil and let sit for an hour. At serving time I tossed in the yellow pepper and some butter lettuce then drizzled on the feta dressing …WOW. This will become your family’s favorite dressing.

  • wow – this is sooooooo good. used dry dill – didn’t have fresh. garlic gives it a little bite. WE LOVE IT

  • Simply delicious as it perfectly coats what ever it’s drizzled on, whether it be lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, or olives. This dressing delightfully delivers a bold yet wonderfully balanced authentic Greek taste. I love that it keeps for 4 days and the refrigerator. I often make extra so I can use it as a dipping sauce for crudites or to úsé as a sauce over shish kabob’s, or grilled Veggies.
