Equipment

Immersion Blender

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Herbs (optional, but any mix of herbs like basil, parsley, green onions, cilantro will work)
1/3 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (see note)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise (see note)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Honey
1 clove Garlic, peeled

Instructions

Combine fresh herbs, 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.

Notes

Greek Yogurt and Mayo - If you use nonfat Greek yogurt, it tends to be a little thin, so the mayo will add thickness and substance to the dressing. If you use full fat Greek yogurt which tends to be thicker, you may not even need to add the mayo. Adjust for thickness as you go.
