Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Begin by gathering all ingredients and ensuring that your garlic is finely minced and all measurement utensils are clean and dry.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully combined and smooth.
Add the lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the mixture and continue to whisk until the texture is consistent all throughout.
Integrate the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper into the bowl. Stir well so that the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
For an optional tangy and rich flavor boost, fold in the crumbled feta cheese and gently mix to incorporate.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to one’s personal preference.
Transfer the dressing into a sealable jar or a dressing bottle for easy storage and shaking before use.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully, although it can be used immediately if needed.
Shake or stir well before drizzling over your favorite Greek salad, and enjoy the enhanced creamy texture and additional protein it brings.
