Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the olive oil while whisking to ensure the dressing remains smooth.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again to blend the spices evenly throughout the dressing.
If the dressing feels too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness, mustard for tang, or salt/pepper to taste.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve drizzled over your favorite salad, use as a dip for veggies, or as a marinade for chicken.
