This is very much like the house dressing at my favorite Greek restaurant. which I find addictive. How often can you say you keep going back to a place for the salad?! I think next time I'll try lemon juice instead of the white wine vinegar, and a little less garlic. Maybe my garlic cloves were too big or something, but the garlic was overpowering. I'm thinking either garlic powder or one minced clove, and then taste and adjust. When i get it perfected, I'll post my version. Thanks for a great starting point! I've been wanting to make this for years.

Wonderful!! I used reduced fat cheese, fat free sour cream & mayo, red wine vinegar (didn't have white). I still used the full amount of garlic even though I cut the recipe in half. I also used basil instead of dill, and didn't have any green onion! I added 1/4 tsp Mrs Dash tomato basil garlic seasoning. It was so good!!
