Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 2 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional for thinning)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
Add the Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
If the dressing feels too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time while whisking, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Drizzle over your favorite salads or vegetables. Stir or shake well before each use.
