- Adjust Consistency: Incrementally introduce water, blending between additions, to create an ideal, flowing dressing that coats greens with delicate grace.

- Check Cheese Quality: Use fresh, high-quality feta for the most vibrant and authentic flavor profile in the dressing.
- Blend Gradually: Start blending at low speed and incrementally increase to prevent splashing and ensure smooth texture.
- Adjust Consistency Wisely: Add water sparingly to control thickness, preventing the dressing from becoming too runny or diluted.
- Enhance Herb Freshness: Chop fresh dill just before blending to maximize aromatic oils and bright flavor in the final dressing.
