Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Water (to thin the dressing, if needed)
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, add the crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavor as desired by adding the honey for sweetness, or additional lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, then blend again briefly to combine.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until your desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the dressing a good stir or shake before using. Use within 5-7 days and store in the refrigerator.
