Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 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 Until Smooth: Stir everything together until smooth and well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season to Taste: Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. For a hint of sweetness, stir in a teaspoon of honey if desired.
- Chill and Meld Flavors: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Store it in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer and creamier texture, or low-fat for a lighter version.
- Fresh dill can be substituted for dried dill if available, just use double the amount.
- Adjust the amount of water to make the dressing thicker for dipping or thinner for drizzling.
- Honey is optional but enhances the balance of tangy and savory flavors.
- Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and stir before use as separation may occur.
