Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Greek yoghurt
- 30 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 large Garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Mince the garlic, chop the fresh dill and parsley finely, and juice the lemon.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 240 ml of Greek yoghurt with 30 ml of extra virgin olive oil. Whisk together until smooth.
Add 15 ml of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of honey to the yoghurt mixture. Whisk again until the honey is thoroughly incorporated.
Stir in the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
Season the yoghurt dressing with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may add more lemon juice for tanginess, or more honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, stir the dressing again and drizzle over salads, use as a dip for vegetables, or pair with grilled meats as desired.
