CREAMY COLESLAW DRESSING



Creamy Coleslaw Dressing image

Coleslaw is one of my all-time favorite foods if it has a nice, creamy dressing. After doing some research, making dozens of different dressings, and trying to find the flavor that I like, I came up with this dressing for coleslaw that became a hit. I'm always asked for this recipe. What surprised me was at a potluck when a culinary chef asked me for my recipe. He told me that it was one of the best he had ever tasted since he had left the southern part of the USA.

A great salad dressing with a nice tangy flavor. The taste compliments lasagne, spaghetti, and other similar Italian dishes.

Greek salads are usually only dressed with olive oil and maybe lemon juice or red-wine vinegar. But this dressing is made of 'Greek' ingredients so, it's my Greek Dressing.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 -2 garlic clove, minced fine (depending on how strong you want your dressing)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (mediterranean)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk, but buttermilk is best, use 1/2 a cup if you want to use this as a dip)

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.
