This is a great tasting dressing (or dip) that is easy and healthful. It can be used on a salad with lots of vegetables and white beans or as as a healthier sauce for meat – we currently use it for a mediterranean burger on whole wheat pita. We recommend finding a local feta at the market – we like Clover Creek from Boalsburg market. Feta cheese can be strong and pungent or mild – pick the one you like best.
16 oz. Fat Free Plain Yogurt
3 oz. Rice Wine Vinegar
4 oz. Feta Cheese
2 oz. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Sugar (or equivalent sweetner)
1 tsp. Fresh Dill
To taste Salt and Pepper
Using an immersion mixer or your kitchen blender:
- In a mixing bowl combine the yogurt and rice wine vinegar.
- Add the feta, salt & pepper and sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the olive oil in a constant stream until the dressing has thickened.
- Finally, add the dill to the dressing and whisk thoroughly.
- Adjust to taste with more salt & pepper as desired.
Enjoy!
