Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1.5 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. This should take about 2-3 minutes of gradual adding and whisking to ensure the mixture emulsifies properly.
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, add the low-fat Greek yogurt, and continue whisking until the dressing is smooth and well-blended.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Whisk the mixture again to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
Taste the mayonnaise dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt or a dash more lemon juice for additional tartness according to preference.
Transfer the mayonnaise dressing to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
