Ingredients of Greek Salad Dressing
- Fresh Herbs (Dill, Mint, and Parsley): These three fresh herbs are the heart and soul of the dressing’s herbal essence.
- Garlic Cloves: Garlic lends a subtle, savory depth to the dressing. Its presence is felt but not overpowering, making it a key component for those who appreciate a hint of garlic in their dressings.
- Lemon Zest and Juice: The zingy brightness of lemon zest and juice awakens the dressing. It provides a vibrant citrusy note that perfectly complements the herbs and adds a layer of freshness.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The richness of extra virgin olive oil contributes to the dressing’s creamy texture and brings a fruity and slightly peppery undertone. It’s the heart and soul of Mediterranean flavors.
- Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tang to the dressing. It’s the secret behind the luscious texture and boosts the overall richness of the flavor.
- Feta Cheese: Feta cheese introduces a salty and tangy dimension, enhancing the dressing’s savory elements. Its crumbly texture marries well with the creaminess of Greek yogurt.
