Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (to thin, if necessary)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well-combined.
Add the lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and honey (if using). Whisk again to incorporate the flavors.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to ensure it emulsifies with the other ingredients.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time, whisking, until you reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a secure lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use this creamy Parmesan dressing on your favorite salad, as a dip for veggies, or as a light sauce for roasted chicken.
