- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and olive oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the fresh lime juice and honey, whisking again to incorporate all the wet ingredients.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture well to evenly distribute the spices and create a uniform dressing.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add a pinch more salt or an extra splash of lime juice for added zest.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
