Description
This creamy Greek yogurt dressing is a tangy and flavorful condiment perfect for salads, dips, and marinades. Made with wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill, it offers a healthy alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based dressings. The optional honey adds a hint of sweetness, balancing the zesty lemon and savory garlic for a well-rounded taste.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Dressing
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or fresh, if available)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and dried dill.
- Blend Together: Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season and Sweeten: Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper to your liking. If desired, stir in a teaspoon of honey to add a slight sweetness.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- The dressing thickens as it chills, so adjust the water accordingly before refrigerating.
- Feel free to replace dried dill with fresh dill for a brighter flavor.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture; low-fat works well for a lighter option.
- Great as a salad dressing, dip for veggies, or spread on sandwiches.
- Store leftover dressing in the fridge and consume within 5 days for freshness.
