- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (whole milk or 2%)
- ½ cup Sour Cream (or use all yogurt)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- ½ teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1 small Garlic Clove, minced or grated
- ½ cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1 cup Chopped Mixed Fresh Herbs (see Notes)
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
If Needed
- Water or Milk to Thin, 1–3 tablespoons as needed
Add the Greek yogurt, sour cream, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and garlic to a food processor.
Add the parsley and mixed herbs. No need to chop them first.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust seasonings and/or herbs as desired. Process again if you do adjust.
If the dressing is too thick, blend in water or milk 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
Herbs
- You can really get creative here. Use any herbs you like (soft-leaf work best) to create a fresh tasting dressing.
- I use as many different types as I have on hand, or I purposely buy a variety to make this dressing recipe.
- I like to start with ½ cup parsley then add several or all of these: chives, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, and tarragon are my favorites.
