Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk (optional, for thinning)

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar, and a splash of milk or buttermilk until the mixture is smooth, creating a creamy and tangy foundation.
  2. Add the Herbs and Spices: Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, parsley, and chives. Season with salt and pepper, tasting as you go to reach your desired flavor balance.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, gradually whisk in additional milk or buttermilk until you achieve your preferred pourable or dippable texture.
  4. Chill and Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen for a fresher, more rounded taste.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and richness.
  • Chilling the dressing allows herbs and spices to infuse fully for enhanced flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice or vinegar to tailor the acidity to your taste.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs to add vibrant flavor.
  • Stir the dressing well before serving to recombine any separation.
