Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press to create a paste-like consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Ensure that the honey is fully dissolved into the mixture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for fresh veggies. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
