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.
