Creamy Feta Salad Dressing And Dip Recipes

CREAMY WHIPPED FETA DIP

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a small spoon to create a swirl on the surface of the dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
• MAKE AHEAD: This dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will stiffen up in the fridge to a spread-like consistency, so be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
• To make the toasted pita wedges: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the pita bread on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cut into wedges, then arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
• To make the toasted sesame seeds: In a small pan over medium heat, cook the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until golden, a few minutes. Watch carefully as they are quick to burn.

CREAMY FETA DIP & DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and all ingredients except buttermilk and feta in a pint jar or quart sized bowl and mix well.
• Add the buttermilk slowly, stirring until desired thickness is reached (see note to thin for a dressing). Fold in the feta. If using a bowl, transfer to a jar with a lid.
• Refrigerate one or more hours before using, and taste to adjust seasonings again.
• Shake well before each use. This tends to get thinner as it sits in the fridge- I just add a bit more sour cream, salt & pepper if I'd like it thicker.

CREAMY FETA DRESSING

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.

CREAMY FETA YOGURT DRESSING (OR DIP!)

Steps:

• Add the garlic, yogurt, feta and lemon juice to a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste and process once more and water if necessary to thin to your liking.

CREAMY FETA CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients except feta cheese.
• Stir in the crumbled feta.
• Serve immediately or store in fridge until ready to use.

CREAMY FETA SALAD DRESSING AND DIP

Steps:

• With a fork, mash the cheese and buttermilk together until it resembled the consistency of cottage cheese.
• Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Let sit, covered, in the refrigerator at least a few hours to blend flavors.
• If it's too thick, just add a little milk until it's the texture you desire.
• This is sooo good on a salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, slices of red onions, and kalamata or ripe olives.

CREAMY GARLIC, PARSLEY, AND FETA DRESSING

Steps:

• Puree parsley, water, and garlic in a blender until smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, and blend until just combined. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 week.
