Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced or grated)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and olive oil. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin and mix thoroughly to ensure the spice is evenly distributed.
Add the minced or grated garlic, lime juice, and honey (or maple syrup) to the bowl. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, whisking thoroughly, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve over fresh greens, as a dip for vegetables, or drizzled over roasted dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
