Instructions

Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and dried dill.
Combine Thoroughly: Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency.
Season: Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper to your liking. For a hint of sweetness, stir in a teaspoon of honey, if desired.
Chill and Meld Flavors: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

This dressing works well as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce for grilled meats and vegetables.
Use fresh dill if available for a brighter flavor.
Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference for pungency.
If you need a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
For a thinner dressing, add more water gradually and stir well.
Refrigerating the dressing enhances the flavor but can be served immediately if needed.
