Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Low fat plain yogurt
- 15 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 5 g Dijon mustard
- 10 ml Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 g Salt
- 1 g Black pepper
- 5 g Fresh dill, chopped
- 5 g Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the low fat plain yogurt to act as the creamy base for the dressing.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. This ensures that the oil is well combined with the yogurt.
Add the lemon juice to the bowl along with Dijon mustard and honey. Whisk them together until fully integrated. The lemon juice adds a tangy flavor, while the honey provides a hint of sweetness, balancing out the flavors.
Stir in the minced garlic and season the mixture with salt and black pepper according to your taste preference.
Fold in the freshly chopped dill and parsley into the dressing. This will give the dressing a fresh, herby flavor.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lemon juice for tang, honey for sweetness, or salt and pepper as desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container for storage.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dressing over salads or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Enjoy!
