Categories     Salads

Time 15m

Yield Makes about 1¾ cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's or Duke's
½ cup sour cream
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons milk (skim, low fat or whole)
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until well-blended and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
  • Make Ahead: This dressing will keep nicely in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. However, it will thicken up quite a bit in the fridge; before serving, whisk well then add a bit of milk, little by little, to thin to desired consistency.
