Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 Tbsp milk
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise use light if desired
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup chopped tender stem herbs (dill, basil, cilantro, mint, and/or parsley) lightly packed
  • 2 Tbsp thinly sliced chives
  • 1 Tbsp small diced red onion
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp hot sauce

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to your blender cup.
  • Blend until completely smooth, pulsing your blender as needed.
  • Taste, and add more herbs or milk as desired. Enjoy as a dressing or dip with salads, grain bowls, chopped veggies, or pita chips.

Notes

  • I like to use equal parts parsley and dill.
  • Use a blender cup with a minimum 24 oz capacity.
  • For a thinner dressing, use more milk. For a thicker dip, omit the milk or use less.
  • To use an immersion blender, place all ingredients in a tall container with a flat bottom. Use your immersion blender to blend until smooth.
  • For a no-chop option, add the garlic, herbs, and onion whole. You'll need one garlic clove, a small handful of both herbs and chives, and about 1/8 of your red onion. Adjust to taste.
