Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 0.333 cup Crumbled bleu cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Low-fat milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and low-fat mayonnaise until smooth and well-blended.
Gently fold in the crumbled bleu cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the lemon juice, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, if needed. For a thinner consistency, gradually mix in 1 tablespoon of low-fat milk, a little at a time, until the desired texture is achieved.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a dip or drizzle over your favorite salad. Enjoy!
