Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (unsalted or low sodium)
- 2.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Anchovy paste (optional, for flavor, low sodium or omit for vegetarian)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or water for consistency adjustment)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste (if using). Continue to whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Stir in the minced garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
Slowly whisk in the unsweetened almond milk (or water), one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to coat lettuce leaves but not too runny.
Taste and adjust if needed, adding a touch more black pepper or lemon juice for extra brightness.
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. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
