Ingredients

3/4 cup sour cream (decrease by 1/4 c. for dressing)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt*)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove (minced)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon fresh (optional)
⅓ to ½ cup buttermilk
¾ to 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or to taste- more is better)

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.

This makes a creamy, rich salad dressing that is also great as a dip. I found it at the Treasure Cave Cheese website.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

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.
