Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Milk or water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the garlic cloves on a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle them with olive oil, then wrap the foil into a small packet.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 10 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Remove and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, mash the roasted garlic with the back of a fork until it forms a smooth paste.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mashed roasted garlic, freshly cracked black pepper, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and honey.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well-combined.
Add milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as preferred.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled drizzled over salads, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dipping sauce.
