Description

This Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing with Dill & Mint is a creamy, tangy, and refreshing dressing perfect for salads, grilled vegetables, or as a dip. Made with wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and a hint of garlic and cumin, it offers a burst of Mediterranean flavors with a healthy twist. Quick to prepare in just 10 minutes, this dressing can be blended for smoothness or made by hand for a more textured finish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or Skyr)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint
  • 1 lemon, juice only (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 2-3 cloves garlic (adjust depending on preference)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 Tbsp water (or to desired consistency)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients. If making by hand, finely chop the dill and mint, and mince the garlic or use garlic powder.
  2. Blend or Mix: For smooth dressing, add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If making by hand, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk or stir vigorously until well combined.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust salt, pepper, or honey as needed to balance flavors.
  4. Thin Consistency: Add water gradually to achieve your preferred consistency.
  5. Serve or Store: Use the dressing immediately on salads or as a dip. Alternatively, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • This dressing pairs wonderfully with green salads, grilled vegetables, or as a sauce for roasted meats.
  • Use Skyr as a low-fat alternative to Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on your taste preference.
  • If you prefer a thinner dressing, add more water or olive oil accordingly.
  • Store leftover dressing kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
