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!
Yum! What meat dish do you think would be good alongside this?
Hi Sophie, it would pair nicely with the lamb kofta or these chicken kabobs. Hope you enjoy whatever you make!
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.
