Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to form an emulsion. This will help create a smooth and creamy base for the vinaigrette.
Add the plain Greek yogurt and whisk until fully incorporated, ensuring the dressing takes on a creamy texture.
Gently fold in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the vinaigrette.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary. If the dressing feels too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of water to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a dipping sauce. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
