Tangy Yogurt Dressing
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt you prefer)
-
2 tbsp lemon juice (for tanginess)
-
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (adds extra tang)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for a little more sharpness)
-
Fresh herbs (optional: dill, parsley, chives, or mint), finely chopped
Directions:
-
Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey (if using), garlic powder, and Dijon mustard (if using). Whisk until smooth and well combined.
-
Season: Taste the dressing and adjust with salt and pepper. If you prefer a stronger tang, you can add a little more lemon juice or vinegar.
-
Add herbs (optional): If you're using fresh herbs, stir them into the dressing for added flavor.
-
Chill (optional): For the best flavor, refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve: Use the dressing over salads, as a dip for veggies, or drizzled on grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
Variations:
-
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
-
Add a little yogurt-based creaminess by mixing in a small amount of sour cream or buttermilk for a thinner consistency.
-
For more herby flavor, try adding tarragon, basil, or thyme.
This tangy yogurt dressing is light, refreshing, and super versatile. Enjoy!
