Greek Dressing with Feta

Oh Feta, how we love you! We love you so much that we put you right in this homemade Greek dressing that is perfect on crisp greens and crunchy bell peppers. Our Salad Dressing topic is brought to you by Stonyfield Organic.

What Is Greek Dressing?

Greek salad dressing is a vinaigrette with an olive oil and red wine vinegar base. It’s flavored with dried oregano, garlic powder, and lemon juice. And for my version, I mix the crumbled feta cheese right into the dressing. This serves to limit the amount of feta I end up putting on my plate, while still getting the salty, tangy taste in each bite.

Making A Greek Salad

You’ve got your salad dressing, now what are you going to do with it? While you could drizzle it over roasted veggies or toss a pasta salad with it, the obvious answer is to make a Greek salad.

When I want to keep it really simple I just use a bag of mixed greens or baby spinach and some bell pepper with this dressing recipe. But a classic Greek salad actually doesn’t use lettuce or leafy greens. The most common ingredients are tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and red onion. Sometimes there’s olives, and feta of course, but we’ve got that in our dressing already.

However you choose to enjoy this flavorful Greek dressing recipe, it’s sure to be delicious.
