Ingredients

• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Unsalted buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely chopping the fresh dill. You will need about 3 tablespoons of dill to ensure a robust flavor.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt serves as a base that provides creaminess and a subtle tang to the dressing.

Step 3

Pour in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the yogurt. This will brighten the flavor and add a hint of acidity.

Step 4

Stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. These will impart depth of flavor in place of added sodium.

Step 5

Add 1 teaspoon of honey to balance out the sharpness of the lemon juice and yogurt.

Step 6

Add the freshly chopped dill to the mixture and stir until well combined, ensuring the dill is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Slowly add 0.25 cup of unsalted buttermilk to the dressing mixture. Whisk until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. For a thicker dressing, you can add less buttermilk.

Step 8

Finally, season with 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper, or adjust to taste.

Step 9

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, though it is ready to serve immediately if needed.

Step 10

Serve the Low Sodium Creamy Dill Dressing over a fresh salad, use it as a sandwich spread, or enjoy it as a dip for vegetables.
