Creamy Greek Dressing

Submitted by Boomette

"A recipe from The Best 30-minute Recipe of Cook's Illustrated. The flavor in this dressing work especially well with a leafy green salad with sliced cucumber and tomato. ETA : the taste is amazing. It's a bit hard to combine everything in the blender. Next time I'll use the food processor."

What a terrific salad dressing! So creamy and loved the flavor of the vinegar, dijon and feta. I used reduced-calorie sour cream, mayo, and feta with excellent results. Great on a salad and I'm sure it would be a great veggie dip too. Thanks for sharing a keeper! Made for the Best of 2013 event, recommended by LifeIsGood

This is delicious! I saw a review for it during ZWT and put it in my "Want to Try" cookbook immediately. A delicious change from the normal olive oil based Greek dressings. Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!

This was absolutely delicious, and a nice alternative to more basic Greek Dressing. In trying to reduce calories, I used an olive oil based mayo and lite sour cream. I used fresh oregano from the garden, and place it on top of classic Greek salad fixings ... minus the red onion because doesn't like me!

This was so delicious, and so easy to make! I used romaine and rainbow cherry tomatoes from the garden in the salad (with a few kalamata olives thrown in), and the dressing complemented them perfectly! It makes a lot of dressing, which was fine with me, because now I have it to look forward to again!
