In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Add the mild red chile powder, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
Slowly add the water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if necessary (add a pinch more salt, chile powder, or honey depending on your preference).
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir well before use. Drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a dip.
