Dressing Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or Skyr)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 1 lemon, juice only (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tsp honey
- 2-3 cloves garlic (depending on how garlicky you like things)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 Tbsp water (or to desired consistency)
- Salt and pepper, to taste (add generously)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients. If using fresh garlic cloves, peel and prepare them for blending or mincing.
- Blend the Dressing: Place all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more water until the desired consistency is reached.
- Alternative Hand Method: Finely chop the fresh dill and mint herbs. Mince the garlic cloves finely, or substitute with garlic powder if preferred. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk together vigorously until well incorporated and smooth.
- Serve or Store: Use the dressing immediately on your favorite salads, grilled veggies, or as a dip. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before each use.
Notes
- For a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of water added.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for garlic intensity.
- This dressing pairs well with leafy green salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables.
- Use fresh herbs for best flavor; dried herbs will alter the taste significantly.
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan option, but this will slightly change the flavor profile.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
