Greek Salad with Creamy Feta Dressing

Source of Recipe

From "It's Not Complicated" by Katie Lee


Recipe Introduction

"About six or seven years ago, my friend Suzanne and I made a Greek salad together. We still talk about that salad. Neither one of us can figure out what made it so perfect. We used a really good feta cheese and olives, but perhaps it was the summer tomatoes, or the freshly picked lettuce we got from the farm stand. Whatever it was, it was magic. Recently I tried mixing up my Greek salad game by making a creamy feta dressing instead of just adding feta crumbles. Whoa, Nelly! Success! With a feta dressing, you get feta flavor in every bite, and you don't have to just pick through the salad trying to find the cheese (this is me). Suzanne, this recipe gives our Greek salad of yesteryear a run for its money."
