Creamy Feta Dressing with Iceberg Wedges

There are a lot of recipes "out there" for iceberg wedges with blue cheese dressing, so I thought I'd do something a little different and make it with a feta dressing. It takes mere minutes to make, and it is darn tasty - creamy and slightly tangy with the saltiness coming from the feta. This dressing is perfect to use as a dip as well, just reduce the quantity of milk and it will be the perfect consistency for dipping in veggie sticks or corn chips.
