Notes
Expert Tips
- Choose a Greek yogurt without added sugars. Greek yogurt does have some natural sugar but look at the nutritional information under "added sugars" and make sure it says "0 grams"
- I suggest using fresh dill for best flavor! Rinse and thoroughly dry your dill. Then remove the thick stems and chop the dill.
- Dill releases it's flavor quickly so a rough chop is all you need. To make it even easier, use kitchen scissors!
- If using fresh garlic, I suggest to grate the garlic clove. It helps the flavor spread more evenly.
- If using full-fat Greek yogurt, you may need to add a touch of extra-virgin olive oil or water to thin it out to the consistency you prefer.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. A mason jar works perfectly. Or grab these single serve dressing containers for on-the-go. Perfect for meal prep.
- When using leftovers, give it a quick stir after removing it from the fridge.
