Feta and Oregano Dressing

4 servings

30 minutes

Oregano feta dressing is a refined European sauce that combines the creaminess of feta cheese with the aromatic notes of oregano and the freshness of lemon juice. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean cuisine, where feta is traditionally used to add rich flavor to dishes. The light tanginess of buttermilk and lemon juice harmonizes with the spiciness of garlic and black pepper, creating an ideal texture and balance of flavors. The addition of green bell pepper gives the sauce a light freshness and crunchy note. This sauce can be used as a salad dressing, a dip for vegetables, or an accompaniment to meat and fish dishes. Its versatility and rich flavor make it an indispensable element of the gastronomic palette of European cuisine.
