Description

A creamy and tangy Greek yogurt dressing made with fresh herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil, perfect as a salad dressing or dip for vegetables. This quick and easy dressing is healthy, versatile, and requires just minutes to prepare.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Italian Parsley (or basil, finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or 2 fresh crushed garlic cloves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, fresh parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use a small whisk or spoon to stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Adjust Consistency and Flavor: Taste the dressing and gradually add unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin out the texture to your preferred consistency. Add more lemon juice if you desire a tangier flavor. Adjust salt and pepper as needed to suit your taste.
  3. Serve: Use the dressing immediately as a salad dressing or as a dip for raw or roasted vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • For a stronger garlic flavor, use 2 fresh crushed garlic cloves instead of garlic powder.
  • You can substitute fresh basil for parsley for a different herbaceous note.
  • Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of almond milk according to your preference.
  • Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use this dressing as a dip for veggies, a topping for grilled chicken, or a sauce for sandwiches.
