Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them, or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Whisk the mixture together thoroughly until it’s smooth and creamy.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, gradually whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water until your preferred consistency is achieved.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled over your favorite salad or use as a dip for fresh vegetables.
