Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons Whipping cream
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Using a fine grater or zester, grate the orange zest directly into the bowl to capture its fresh, vibrant aroma.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and add depth to the flavor profile.
Using a whisk or fork, gently fold in the poppy seeds until they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually drizzle in the whipping cream while stirring, to slightly loosen the texture of the dressing and create a creamy consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed by adding a bit more honey or lemon juice.
Transfer the Pixy Dressing to a clean serving bowl or a glass jar with a lid. For best flavor, chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Enjoy drizzled over fresh greens, a vibrant fruit salad, or as a dip for colorful veggie sticks!
