Creamy Feta Vinaigrette

By CBarile

Instead of tossing chunks of feta into her salad or crumbling the cheese on top of cooked vegetables, Melissa Rubel Jacobson purees it right into a vinaigrette. This makes the dressing smooth and luscious and ensures a little bit of tang in almost every bite.

Ingredients

• 3 ounces feta cheese, preferably French, crumbled (3/4 cup)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the crumbled feta with the red wine vinegar, water, oregano and olive oil until the vinaigrette is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

NOTES Great With Grilled vegetables or shrimp, cucumber salad, spinach salad, tomato salad, potato salad.
