Instructions
- Begin by using a fork to mash the feta cheese and buttermilk together in a mixing bowl, aiming for a consistency similar to cottage cheese.
- Next, incorporate the remaining ingredients—milk, sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, garlic, green onion, fresh dill, and dried oregano—into the bowl and blend thoroughly until smooth.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking, enhancing the flavor to suit your palate.
- Cover the bowl and allow the dressing to sit in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, which will enable the flavors to meld beautifully.
- If you find the dressing too thick after chilling, simply stir in a little milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- This creamy feta dressing is absolutely delicious drizzled over a fresh salad composed of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, slices of red onion, and kalamata or ripe olives, making every bite a heavenly experience.
Enjoy this versatile dressing and dip, ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions!
