- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mixed herbs, such as basil, dill, cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeds removed
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ lemon, juiced, about 2 Tbsp
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp honey
- Splash of water
Make the dressing. Place all ingredients in either a personal blender or a food processor. Process until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning, then refrigerate until needed. I recommend chilling for 30 minutes, though of course you can enjoy it immediately.
- Leftovers: Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or stir well before using.
- I don’t recommend freezing creamy dressings.
