Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and mix thoroughly to ensure an even texture.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard to add a tangy depth to the dressing.
Add the minced garlic, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a thinner consistency, gradually mix in 1-2 tablespoons of water until the desired thickness is achieved.
