Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking. This helps emulsify the vinaigrette, giving it a smooth and creamy texture.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and stir well to combine.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preferences.
Transfer the creamy vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
