Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Herbs ((any mix of herbs like basil, parsley, green onions, cilantro))
1/3 cup Plain Yogurt
1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Honey
1 clove Garlic, peeled

Steps:

  • Combine fresh herbs, plain yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, honey, and garlic clove in a jar (if using an immersion blender) or the bowl of a food processor or blender.
  • Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to use as a salad dressing (thickness will vary depending on the type of yogurt used), add water a bit at a time and continue to blend until smooth and pourable.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust if needed. Depending on the type of herbs you use, you may want to alter the flavors to add some sweetness from more honey or more sour flavor from lemon juice.
  • Can be made up to 4 days ahead. Stir well before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yogurt: Opt for plain, unsweetened yogurt for a healthier dressing. Greek yogurt is a good option as it's thicker and creamier, resulting in a richer dressing.
  • Fresh herbs are key: Use fresh herbs like dill, parsley, cilantro, or basil for the best flavor. If you only have dried herbs, use half the amount as they are more concentrated.
  • Balance the flavors: Yogurt dressings can be tangy, so it's important to balance the flavors with other ingredients. Adding a touch of sweetness like honey or maple syrup, and a bit of acidity like lemon juice or vinegar, can help create a well-rounded dressing.
  • Adjust the consistency: The consistency of the dressing can be adjusted by adding more or less yogurt. If you want a thicker dressing, use less yogurt. For a thinner dressing, use more yogurt or add some water or milk.
  • Experiment with different ingredients: Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique yogurt herb dressing. Try adding minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, or a pinch of paprika for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Yogurt herb salad dressing is a versatile and delicious way to add flavor and nutrition to your salads.
