What is in feta dill dressing?
What is in this feta dill dressing? Here are all of the ingredients you need to make this creamy feta dill dressing.
- Feta cheese. The first ingredient you need to make this feta dill dressing is feta cheese. The feta cheese is going to be put in a blender or food processor to blend, so you can use either pre-crumbled feta cheese or a block of feta cheese.
- Fresh dill. The next ingredient you need to make this feta dill dressing is dill. We highly recommend using fresh dill whenever possible, but if you are unable to find fresh dill you can also use dried dill. Dried dill usually has a stronger flavor than fresh dill, so we recommend reducing the amount of dill if you are using dried dill.
- Heavy cream. Heavy cream is the main liquid that makes up the base of this feta dill dressing. The heavy cream thins out the texture of the feta dill dressing so that it is not too thick.
- Sour cream. Sour cream is mixed with the heavy cream to complete the base of the feta dill dressing. The sour cream adds a subtle tanginess to the dressing and ensures that the texture of the dressing is not too thin.
- Lemon juice. Finally, some lemon juice is added to the feta dill dressing. The acidity of the lemon juice brightens the flavor of the feta dill dressing and ensures that it does not get too heavy.

Substitutes for feta dill dressing
- Fresh dill. If you do not have fresh dill then you can also use dried dill. Dried spices tend to have a stringer flavor than fresh spices, so we recommend starting with about half the recommended amount of dill and adding more to taste at the end.
- Sour cream. If you do not have sour cream, you can swap the sour cream out with plain greek yogurt. For best results you should use a full fat greek yogurt.
