Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 1-2 tbsp Honey (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup Olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by drizzling in your balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard into a bowl. Go ahead and whisk that together until it’s smooth and fully combined.
  2. Next, add in your fresh minced garlic and a little honey for that touch of sweetness. Give it a quick mix so everything is blended nicely.
  3. Now for that creamy texture—add in your plain Greek yogurt. Stir it in until the dressing starts to look thick, smooth, and well incorporated.
  4. To loosen things up and get that silky consistency, slowly stream in your olive oil while whisking continuously. Don’t rush this part—this is what helps emulsify the dressing and makes it nice and smooth.
  5. Finish it off with salt and black pepper to taste. Give it one last whisk, and that’s it. Smooth, creamy, and ready to go.
