Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb, exposing the cloves inside. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic bulb, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
Allow the roasted garlic to cool slightly, then squeeze the softened cloves out of the bulb into a small bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, basil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and Greek yogurt.
Blend on high, slowly drizzling in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
If the dressing is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a dip for bread or crackers.
