KITTENCAL'S CREAMY GREEK FETA SALAD DRESSING



Kittencal's Creamy Greek Feta Salad Dressing image

Plan ahead the dressing needs a few hours chilling time before serving, you may want to adjust some ingredients after you make this, I would suggest to start with the stated amounts and add in more after mixing, you may use 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese in place of the feta cheese --- if you are not a lover of garlic then I suggest to pass this by! --- servings are only esitmated.

CREAMY GARLIC, PARSLEY, AND FETA DRESSING



Creamy Garlic, Parsley, and Feta Dressing image

We suggest pairing this garlicky dressing with mixed greens such as Boston lettuce and watercress, or drizzling it over grilled tofu or chicken for a light yet satisfying meal. If you prefer a milder dressing, cut back the garlic to two teaspoons. Recipe adapted from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

ICEBERG SALAD WITH DRIED OREGANO DRESSING AND CREAMY FETA



Iceberg Salad With Dried Oregano Dressing and Creamy Feta image

There is something really good about crunchy lettuce and a bright shallot dressing filled with the flavour of dried oregano completed by creamy feta.

Provided by Danielle Alvarez

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 heads iceberg lettuce, outer leaves removed
1 bunch chives, snipped
1⁄2 bunch dill, fronds picked
50-70 g (1¾ oz-2½ oz) creamy sheep's milk feta (Bulgarian sheep's milk feta works, or even a Danish cow's milk feta would be good too)
30 g (1 oz) thinly sliced shallot
50 ml (1¾ fl oz) agrodolce-style white-wine vinegar (if you can't find that, add 2 teaspoons honey to regular white-wine vinegar)
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons dried oregano
120 ml (4 fl oz) extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • First, make your vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar with a lid, combine the shallot, vinegar and salt. Leave to macerate for about 15 minutes. Next, add the oregano and olive oil and mix or shake to combine.
  • Cut your iceberg into thin, long wedges and arrange on a platter. Shake the dressing up just before pouring it over the lettuce. Sprinkle a bit of salt on top, followed by the chives and dill, then shave slices of cheese over the whole thing, or simply crumble it in. Serve immediately.

CREAMY FETA DIP & DRESSING



Creamy Feta Dip & Dressing image

The Feta dip/dressing that I like is hard to find so I had to figure out how to make my own. After trial and error this is my own version.

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Dips

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 c sour cream (decrease by 1/4 cup for dip)
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
large clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried
1/2 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dill weed
1/2 c buttermilk
1 c feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sour cream, lemon juice and all ingredients except buttermilk and feta in a pint jar or quart mixing bowl and mix well. Add the buttermilk slowly, stirring until desired thickness is reached. Fold in the feta. If using a bowl, transfer to a jar with a lid.
  • 2. 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).

Time 25m

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 small onion, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 large tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup basil leaves, shredded
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
2 -4 pita pockets, halves
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup plain yogurt
4 tablespoons milk (soy is okay)
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 -4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill

Steps:

  • Prepare and cut the vegetables. Combine in a mixing bowl all of the above ingredients, except the tomatoes, basil leaves, dressing, and pita halves. You may leave the chickpeas out, if you wish.
  • Toss vegetable mixture to lightly glaze the vegetables with olive oil.
  • Spoon vegetable mixture onto a broiler pan or cookie sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes, add tomatoes and basil leaves to vegetable mixture and stir. Baste with additional marinade and broil for an additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender and lightly browned. Tomatoes and basil should be just warmed; if you prefer the tomato softer, add with vegetable mixture at the beginning.
  • Prepare the dressing while vegetables are broiling.
  • Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between pita halves. Drizzle with Creamy Feta Dressing. Serve.
  • Creamy Feta Dressing:.
  • Combine all ingredients except the dill into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Scrape the sides of the blender as needed. Add more milk as needed to get a consistency that is rather thin and pourable.
  • Pour into a bowl and sir in dill. Add more lemon juice if a tangier taste is preferred. Enjoy! This makes enough for 2-4 servings.

CREAMY FETA-RED WINE VINEGAR DRESSING



Creamy Feta-Red Wine Vinegar Dressing image

This dressing can be made with dried oregano too(1/2 teas.) Be generous with this dressing when tossing with a salad. You can leave it chunky too, but it can be put in a blender and pureed if you like.It's great on a salad of romaine lettuce, red onions and garlic heavy croûtons, or mashed in a tuna fish salad with scallions and seeded diced tomato on a bed of lettuce.

CREAMY FETA DRESSING



Creamy Feta Dressing image

This is a Pioneer Woman recipe. I substitute yogurt instead of her sour cream. She uses this dressing on chicken salad. I will also try it on pasta salads, potato salads, and green salads. I use Best Foods mayo with olive oil as it is lower in calories than regular Best Foods mayo. This recipe would probably also taste good using buttermilk instead of Half and Half. I will try that next time to further reduce calories.
