Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (unsalted or low sodium)
- 2.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Anchovy paste (optional, for flavor, low sodium or omit for vegetarian)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or water for consistency adjustment)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk together until smooth.
Step 2
Add the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste (if using). Continue to whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
Slowly whisk in the unsweetened almond milk (or water), one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to coat lettuce leaves but not too runny.
Step 5
Taste and adjust if needed, adding a touch more black pepper or lemon juice for extra brightness.
Step 6
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
