Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill (or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill)
Aromatics:
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (from 1 to 2 cloves)
Instructions
- Combine tangy lemon juice, zesty vinegar, sweet honey, and finely chopped garlic in a medium mixing bowl, whisking until the ingredients create a harmonious blend.
- Introduce creamy Greek yogurt, rich olive oil, aromatic dill, along with salt and pepper to the initial mixture, vigorously whisking until the dressing achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Pour the freshly prepared dressing into an airtight container, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify during a 30-minute chilling period in the refrigerator.
- Store the dressing for optimal flavor within a 3 to 4-day window, gently shaking or stirring before each use to reinvigorate the ingredients and ensure a smooth texture.
Notes
- Swap dairy yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt for a vegan-friendly alternative that maintains the creamy texture.
- Adjust honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to create a fully plant-based version of the dressing.
- Enhance the herb profile by adding fresh chopped chives or parsley for extra brightness and complexity.
- Store in an airtight glass container to preserve the dressing’s fresh flavor and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
