Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Olive oil
• 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoons Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking. This helps emulsify the vinaigrette, giving it a smooth and creamy texture.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and stir well to combine.

Step 5

If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preferences.

Step 7

Transfer the creamy vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
