Creamy Greek Feta Dressing

Today, we’re making Creamy Greek Feta Dressing!

This dressing is vegetable’s new best friend. With just a handful of ingredients and a mini food processor, we have a rich, creamy, savory dressing loaded with feta cheese and bursting with fresh Mediterranean flavor.


So, let’s get to it!

There’s really not much to do when it comes to this recipe. We’re going to throw everything in a food processor, hit the button, and the recipe is complete. Easy breezy. But, what makes this dressing special is all of the thoughtfully gathered ingredients that get thrown into that food processor.


For the creamy components in this dressing, we’re going to use some buttermilk, some sour cream, and some savory feta cheese. Feta cheese is, without a doubt, my favorite cheese. But the strong, acidic smell or salty taste can sometimes turn people off from feta. To balance out those strong properties, we’re going to use the creamy tang of both sour cream and buttermilk to mellow this aggressive cheese.

To add a totally different kind of tang and acidity to this dressing, we’re going to add some red wine vinegar and lemon juice to the party. The red wine vinegar gives us a robust and zippy acidic kiss while the lemon gives us sweet and sour acidity. It may seem like overkill to use both, but trust me. This dressing is all about the balancing act.


To flavor our dressing, we’re going to use a Greek seasoning blend, some fresh garlic, and good ol’ salt and pepper. Greek seasoning is one of those “big bang for your buck” type ingredients, because you get a whole bunch of herbs like oregano, marjoram, mint, parsley, and more all in one little jar. This herby touch adds a nice pop of freshness to compliment all of the other tangy flavors happening in this dip.

When you’re ready to serve, this dressing will be on the thinner side at first. But if you give it some time to hang in the fridge first, it thickens up perfectly to a creamy, dreamy masterpiece. And bonus, this will keep in the fridge for about a week; and it’s definitely one of those “the longer it sets the better it gets” type of recipes.


Whether you’re using this creamy sauce as intended like a salad dressing or serving it as a dip for your veggies, your tastebuds are going to sing. Between the creamy notes, the tangy notes, the savory notes, and the herby notes; this dressing has a full orchestra just waiting in the wings!

You guys are gonna love this one. I can’t wait to hear what you think!


I hope you enjoy. And, let’s eat!

      You can get it in the spice isle and it just says Greek Seasoning from your local grocery store. You can also try a Greek market of you have one nearby.
