I was looking for a kinda Greek salad for my side dish the other day. By ‘kinda’ I mean I would make it with as many Greek-ish ingredients I could find in my fridge or pantry. And I wanted a kinda Greek dressing to go with it. So I made this American style creamy Greek dressing. Like my salad, it’s Greek-ish. You have your obligatory cucumber and feta. Good stuff. A few seasonings. Nice. And mayonnaise. Not sure how Greek that is (probably not at all), but it made for a good, cool cream dressing that hit the spot!
Fridge Time
You can actually enjoy this American style creamy Greek dressing right after you mix it. I like to put it into the fridge for a few hours or overnight first. The first time I serve it I always give it a stir and taste to see if it needs more salt. For me, this dressing needed a bit more than the recipe called for. I recommend tasting it to see if you feel the same way.
Smoooooooth
Feta isn’t a smooth-gettin’ cheese. You’re gonna have to have it spend some quality time in the food processor before you get it sorta creamy. Be patient. Or leave it a bit crumbly. It is feta after all.
Panera makes a Greek vinaigrette that is yummy, too!
