Description

This creamy Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing is a tangy and flavorful dressing made with whole milk Greek yogurt, fresh garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Enhanced with fresh dill and seasoned with kosher salt and pepper, it offers a healthy and versatile option to elevate salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, and sandwiches in just minutes.

Ingredients

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup Plain Whole Milk Greek Yogurt
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or white pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh dill (chopped) or 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, to thin dressing)

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, freshly minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, kosher salt, and black or white pepper until well combined.
  2. Emulsify Dressing: While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue whisking vigorously until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is thicker than preferred, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it out to your desired consistency, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs: Stir in the chopped fresh dill or dried dill if using, to infuse the dressing with a bright herbaceous note.
  5. Serve: Use the dressing immediately to drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, sandwiches, or store refrigerated for later use.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best tangy flavor.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on preference for pungency.
  • Olive oil quality influences the dressing’s flavor—opt for extra virgin olive oil.
  • The dressing can be thinned with water to suit different preferences.
  • This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Optional fresh dill adds a traditional Greek flavor but can be omitted or substituted with other herbs.
