Thick & Creamy Feta Dip or Salad Dressing Recipe (6 Ingredients) by Jan Mostrom

I love this creamy feta salad dressing and dip recipe. The thick and creamy feta dressing is just the right consistency to give some great depth to a dish like this delicious avocado and corn salad or just to level up a simple vegetable platter. I splashed the homemade salad dressing on top of a piece of baked salmon, too, and it made it extra moist and special.

To make this creamy salad dressing recipe you only need six ingredients. Here is your shopping list: feta cheese, buttermilk (see Recipe Notes for substitutions), a lemon for zesting and and juicing, fresh garlic, fresh chives and fresh parsley.

This Greek-inspired feta salad dressing and dip is ready in about 10 minutes! Not only do you get the salty, creamy taste of feta in this recipe, but the health benefits of feta, the health benefits of lemon, the health benefits of garlic and the health benefits of fresh herbs. How will you use it?

Servings: 8 (makes 3/4 cup)

Ingredients

• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/3 cup buttermilk  
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 1 garlic clove, grated
• 1/4 cup sliced fresh chives
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Recipe Notes

• I almost never have buttermilk in the house so use this easy substitution: 1 cup milk to 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar. So for the 1/3 cup buttermilk use 1/3 cup milk and 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar.

• Store the dressing in an airtight container, mason jar or salad dressing cruet in the fridge.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the feta into a mixing bowl. Use clean hands to mash the feta into a powdery paste.
   
2. Add buttermilk, lemon zest and juice, garlic, chives, parsley and some salt and black pepper.
   
3. Taste to see if more seasonings are needed.
