Ingredients

• 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for mild sweetness)
• 1-2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, add the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, and white wine vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried parsley. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the herbs into the creamy base.

Step 3

Season the dressing with salt, ground black pepper, and honey (if using). Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 4

Gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing to your desired consistency. Whisk continuously as you add the water to maintain a creamy texture.

Step 5

Pour the dressing into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Before serving, give the dressing a good shake or stir. Drizzle over salads, use as a dip for vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or fish.
