Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh apricots (pitted and diced)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, to thin the dressing)
Instructions
Prepare the apricots by washing them thoroughly, removing the pits, and dicing them into small pieces.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced apricots, Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Blend all the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as desired. If the dressing is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Creamy Apricot Dressing over salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for fresh vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
