Tips & Variations

• Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best flavor, but dried dill or chives can be substituted in a pinch—use about one-third the amount.
• Adjust the thickness by adding more or less water or yogurt depending on how you like your dressing.
• For a dairy-free version, try swapping the Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt, adjusting seasonings as needed.
• Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar for a brighter, tangier flavor.

Storage

Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before each use, as separation can occur. This dressing tastes best chilled and can be served cold or at room temperature. Do not freeze, as the texture may change.
