Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced or grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon Anchovy paste (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1-2 tablespoons Water (to thin, if needed)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and finely minced garlic. If using anchovy paste, add it at this step. Whisk thoroughly.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Use the dressing immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before using, as separation may occur.
