As a Registered Dietitian, my favorite way to jazz up any meal with is a healthy homemade dressing or sauce. They add tons of flavor, are easy to prepare, and usually take just five minutes to whip up. Some salad dressing staples in my house include my Greek yogurt salad dressing, lemon tahini dressing, white balsamic vinaigrette, champagne vinaigrette, and sesame ginger miso dressing.

This thick & creamy feta dill dressing is ideal for crunchy, hearty greens like romaine and kale. It tastes so fresh and zippy thanks to plenty of fresh dill, lemon juice, salty feta cheese, and tangy Greek yogurt. You just need a food processor and five minutes to prep this easy salad dressing!

Greek yogurt is an protein-rich addition to creamy salad dressings and dips, like this Greek yogurt ranch dip. Read all about the nutrition benefits of Greek yogurt here! Plus, find lots of recipes with Greek yogurt on my blog.

How to make feta dill dressing

This recipe is as simple as putting everything into a food processor and pressing a button!

  1. To your food processor, add Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, feta cheese, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt.
  2. Blend everything up in your food processor until well combined. The mixture will be pretty thick at this point and keep its shape when scooped with a spoon.

Is feta cheese healthy?

Feta cheese can certainly be a part of a well-balanced, nutritious diet when enjoyed in moderation. Feta cheese provides protein and other nutrients. One ounce of feta cheese has:

  • 4 grams of protein
  • 140 mg calcium (11 percent of your daily needs)
  • 0.239 mg riboflavin (18 percent of your daily needs)
  • 0.48 mcg Vitamin B12 (20 percent of your daily needs)

Because of its protein, calcium, and Vitamin B12 content, adding feta cheese to your diet can be particularly beneficial if you follow a plant-based diet. It’s important to note that feta cheese is high in sodium and saturated fat, so enjoy 1-2 ounces at a time as to not go overboard with these nutrients.

Greek yogurt nutrition and health benefits

Greek yogurt is high in protein and other nutrients. A 7 ounce serving of low-fat Greek yogurt has 20 grams of protein and 18 percent of your daily calcium needs! In addition you’ll also get several other nutrients, including Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, phosphorus, selenium, and probiotics.
