- 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 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
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients. If making by hand, finely chop the dill and mint, and mince the garlic or use garlic powder.
- 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.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust salt, pepper, or honey as needed to balance flavors.

- 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.
