Ingredients
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or fresh oregano, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons water
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Place the crumbled feta cheese in a medium bowl. Add the red wine vinegar and chopped fresh thyme or oregano. Using a fork, mash the feta vigorously against the sides of the bowl, breaking it down until the mixture becomes fairly smooth and the herbs are well distributed.
Drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk and mix with the fork until the dressing becomes creamy and emulsified. Gradually add the water, a little at a time, whisking constantly until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Since feta cheese varies in moisture content, taste as you go and adjust by adding more olive oil for richness, more vinegar for tang, or more water for a thinner consistency.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste preference. Whisk once more to ensure the seasonings are evenly incorporated. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
