Homemade Vegan Greek Feta Salad Dressing Recipe

Modified: May 13, 2026 by Jacqueline Meldrum

Jump to Recipe

Homemade salad dressings are the best and this homemade vegan Greek feta dressing is rather special. It's creamy with a tangy edge. Yum!

Vegan Greek feta salad dressing.

I never buy salad dressing, it's so easy and quick to make, and you can make a different flavour and style every time from ingredients you have to hand.

My latest dairy-free salad dressing is this creamy, yet tangy Greek feta salad dressing, which adds a wonderful flavour to salads, wraps and roasted vegetables.

I usually make small batch salad dressings (check them out in my salad recipe page), but this time I made a bigger batch to enjoy with a few lunches and dinners, but you can cut down the quantities and make less.

Give it a try, it's tasty stuff!

📋 What you need to make this creamy feta salad dressing

Here are the simple ingredients you need to make this luscious homemade dressing.

dairy-free greek feta salad dressing.
  • Greek feta cheese - I use the dairy-free version, which is suitable for vegans
  • Fresh lemon juice - if you don't have lemons, you could use white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar instead, but lemon juice is more traditional
  • Olive oil - I like to use extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in my dressings
  • Mayo - for a hint of creaminess and luxury (you could use vegan Greek yoghurt instead, but it is tart, so add less lemon juice)
  • Parsley - I used dried parsley, but you could use fresh parsley or other fresh herbs like dill
  • Mint - I grow mint in the garden, so I used fresh mint, but you can use half a teaspoon of dried mint instead
  • Garlic - fresh garlic, or use garlic granules or powder
  • Salt & black pepper - to season
  • Water - to thin the dressing

The full printable recipe with ingredients, method, notes and nutritional information is at the bottom of the page, you can scroll down or use the jump to recipe button above.

I hope you try this creamy feta dressing! It's particularly good drizzled over Greek Loaded Fries.

💭 Use water to thin down salad dressing not oil

It's good to add some olive oil to salad dressings, it gives that luxury mouth feel and helps the dressing to emulsify.

However, it's better to thin salad dressing down by adding water instead of more olive oil.

It's just healthier to skip the extra oil and less calorific too.

The water does an excellent job of thinning the dressing, and the dressing doesn't split if you mix it well.

That's my wee salad dressing tip!

🥣 Turn it into a creamy dip

Adding water to salad dressing helps to give a good pouring consistency, but if you would prefer a thick and creamy feta dip to dunk tortilla chips, crisps (chips), crunchy veg sticks or pizza crusts in, then just add less water and keep the salad dressing thick.

You could split it into two jars or containers and leave one a thick dip and thin the other with water to use as a salad dressing.

Simples!

🥄 Sweeten it up

I love this delicious vegan Greek salad dressing because it is creamy, but has a tartness to it as well.

However, if it's a bit tart for you, you can either reduce the lemon juice and add a teaspoon of maple syrup or a small amount of sugar to balance out the flavours.

I'll leave that up to you and your taste buds.

I love it just the way it is; it works so well with other flavours.

🍶 Storing salad dressing

Personally, I like to store my salad dressing in a jam jar.

jam jar.

The Bonne Maman jams come in gorgeous decathedron shaped (yes, I had to look that up) jars that have pretty gingham lids, which are perfect for recycling, and the labels come off a treat with no scrubbing.

It's just a bonus that the jam is so delicious, and I like to think of the wartime tale of Bonne Maman and their help with the resistance is true when I'm buying a jar of their jam.

It may or may not be true, but it's such a heart-warming tale.

You're recycling too, which is always a win!

Of course, you can store this homemade Greek dressing in any airtight container or bottle with a secure lid, but jam jars allow you to see at a glance what is in them and how much is left when you open the fridge door!

Store it in the fridge for 4-5 days.

🌡️ Room temperature dressing

It's tempting to use salad dressing straight out of the fridge, but the chill from the fridge actually deadens flavours.

You know what I mean, all you can taste is cold.

It's best to take the dressing out of the fridge while you make your salad or wrap and that allows the dressing to come to room temperature, so you can really taste all the delicate flavours.
