Garlic-Yogurt Dressing
Description
This light and zesty garlic-yogurt dressing brings fresh Mediterranean flavors to your table. Blending nonfat yogurt with a hint of milk, it creates a creamy texture without the heaviness of mayonnaise. Fresh lemon juice and honey balance the tartness, while extra-virgin olive oil and dried oregano add depth and aroma. Minced garlic provides a subtle kick that complements crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken. Ideal for summer salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for fresh veggies, this dressing is quick to whisk together and keeps well in the fridge. Its bright, herbaceous profile makes it a versatile condiment for everyday meals.Ingredients

Note
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before using as separation may occur.
For a richer texture, substitute whole milk or full-fat Greek yogurt. For a vegan version, use unsweetened plant-based yogurt.
If the dressing is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
Garlic flavor will intensify over time; add fresh minced garlic right before serving if preparing in advance.
