American Style Creamy Greek Dressing Recipes

CREAMY GREEK DRESSING

Steps:

• Place feta cheese, cucumbers, green bell pepper, red onion, olives, oregano, basil, and black pepper in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Stir mixture into the ranch dressing in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

CREAMY GREEK SALAD DRESSING

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.

CREAMY GREEK DRESSING

Steps:

• Process vinegar, shallot, garlic, oregano, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in blender until shallot and garlic are finely chopped, about 15 seconds.
• Add mayonnaise and sour cream, and continue to process until smooth, about 10 seconds.
• Add feta and pulse until just incorporated, about 5 pulses.

CREAMY GREEK SALAD DRESSING

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).
