• 0.125 teaspoons Salt
• 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, add the cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Add the fresh mixed berries, honey, and lemon juice to the blender. Blend again until the berries are fully incorporated and the mixture is a vibrant color.

Step 3

Season with salt and ground black pepper, blending briefly to mix.

Step 4

With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create a smooth and slightly emulsified texture.

Step 5

If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add milk one tablespoon at a time and blend until your desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for tanginess.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Shake or stir well before serving. This dressing is best used within 3-5 days.
