Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth.
Add the onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
Fold in the Greek yogurt. Continue whisking until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing. It should thicken slightly as you mix.
Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve your desired consistency. The dressing should be pourable but not too thin.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled over your favorite greens, as a dip for veggies, or as a spread on wraps.
