Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons low sodium mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and low sodium mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the yogurt mixture while whisking continuously to ensure it emulsifies nicely and maintains the creamy texture.
Add the fresh lemon juice and white vinegar to the mixture and mix thoroughly to add acidity and balance.
Incorporate the minced garlic cloves, honey, ground black pepper, fresh dill, and fresh chives. Stir until all ingredients are well distributed and the dressing is uniformly combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more pepper or a touch more honey for sweetness.
Transfer the dressing into an airtight container or a mason jar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled over your favorite salad greens, or use as a dip for vegetables. Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
