Step aside, mayo — come for a creamy, lemony, and light whipped feta dressing that brings this pasta salad together, and stay for the refreshing flavors that might make you forget about late summer heat and humidity!
Ingredients:
- 6 ounces feta, plus extra to garnish
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, plus extra to garnish
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic
- 3 cups al dente pasta, shape of your choice
- 1/2 cup cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped green on
Directions:
In a food processor, blend feta, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), water, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic until smooth and airy. If too thick, add another dash of water until desired consistency is reached. Stir in fresh dill and fold into a bowl of al dente pasta. Add cucumbers, green onion, and extra crumbled feta.
Note: Chilling this dish will likely solidify the feta dressing — still delicious, but less creamy!
