Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small (about 100g) Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional)
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the red onion into small chunks.
Peel the garlic clove and set it aside.
Add the chopped red onion and garlic clove to a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed until finely minced and a paste-like consistency begins to form.
Add the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard to the blender.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out to your desired consistency, blending again briefly after each addition.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing chilled over your favorite salad. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
