Greek Salad Dressing

Recipe #59898 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Greek salads are usually only dressed with olive oil and maybe lemon juice or red-wine vinegar. But this dressing is made of 'Greek' ingredients so, it's my Greek Dressing.

2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a blender or food processor, whirl all the ingredients except the buttermilk for one minute.
  2. 2
    With the blender running, slowly pour in the buttermilk and blend until thick and creamy (turn off the blender as soon as the dressing thickens or it may curdle).
  3. 3
    Chill at least 1 hour so the flavours meld.
  4. 4
    Refrigerate, tightly covered.
  5. 5
    This makes nearly 2 cups of dressing and stays fresh for 3-4 days.
  6. 6
    If the dressing separates, just give it a whizz in the blender again.

This was a wonderfully creamy and flavorful dressing. I did use keffir instead of buttermilk, as it is what I had on hand and it worked beautifully. Thank you Evelyn/Athens for sharing the recipe.

    I made this with milk instead of buttermilk as it was quite thick and only one clove of garlic. It had a very intense flavour which went perfectly with some boiled potatoes which I had chopped up. I agree that it tastes better after a few hours and even better the following day. A good variation to a vinegar-oil dressing.

    This is a powerfully flavored, thick dressing that demands a hearty salad...not a bowl of baby greens. It was very good with some crisp Romaine, steamed green beans, artichoke hearts, hardboiled eggs and sliced tomatoes for a hearty lunch salad. I think that it could be thinned out a little more and drizzled as a sauce on other green veggies too. My DH gave it 5 ***** Evelyn!

    I made this to top a tuna/bean salad. I didn't add the feta or buttermilk, since it tasted great as is. This made for a delicious all-purpose dressing. Roxygirl
