Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until fully blended.
Start drizzling in the olive oil slowly while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. This ensures that the oil and vinegar combine into a smooth mixture.
Add the plain Greek yogurt to the bowl and whisk until the dressing is creamy and well-incorporated.
If the dressing feels too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and whisk until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or honey for sweetness, if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
Shake well before serving and enjoy over your favorite salads or dishes.
