Lemon Feta Dressing

A creamy feta dressing made with garlic and fresh herbs. Serve as a dip, over grilled meats, on bread or as a keto salad dressing.

This feta dressing is rich and creamy with a delicious garlic-ky, tangy kick and the freshness of fresh herbs.

It really is the easiest thing to make. Simply gather all the ingredients, pop them in a blender and blend till the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

For best results prepare the dip a couple of hours before serving then cover and keep it in the fridge. Resting gives the flavours time to combine and fully develop.

Try it dolloped over some boiled beets, with these figs, grilled asparagus or on scrambled eggs.

We love it with finger food for parties and movie or game nights.

Ingredient notes

Select good quality fresh ingredients best results.

Feta – there are different types of feta with varying textures, for this recipe select one that is made with sheep’s milk or a combination of sheep’s and goat’s milk. If possible select a feta in brine so the cheese is more moist. The brine is rich in flavour and a little salty. Add a little brine during blending for a richer flavour and a slightly runnier consistency.

Cream cheese – any type will do, although I sometimes use ricotta.

Olive oil – read my post on how to select a good olive oil.

Fresh herbs – it is not always easy to measure out fresh herbs, so for this recipe the quantity does not need to be absolutely precise and measurements are given as approximate amounts.

Make a feta dressing

To turn this creamy feta dip into a dressing you may prefer a slightly runnier consistency.

Blend in 1-2 tablespoons of the brine that comes with the feta till it can be drizzled or poured over a dish.

The brine adds a more intense feta flavour but it is also quite salty, so taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning accordingly before serving.

Make ahead

To prepare this dip in advance transfer to an airtight container and keep chilled in the fridge, then use it within 3 days.

The dip will thicken in the fridge so let it sit at room temperature for around half an hour to soften before serving.
