Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, measure out the low-fat yogurt, ensuring it is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the apple cider vinegar into the yogurt, whisking continuously to create a uniform, well-blended base.
- Add the honey to the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate and balance the tanginess of the vinegar.
- Incorporate the Dijon mustard, which will help emulsify the dressing and add a subtle, sharp flavor profile.
- Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning to your preference.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the dressing becomes smooth and fully integrated, with a consistent light color and creamy texture.
- Transfer the dressing to a clean, airtight container or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor profile. The difference between good and great is in the details!
- Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth, well-integrated dressing. No lumps allowed!
- For extra creaminess, use Greek yogurt instead of regular low-fat yogurt.
- Experiment with different types of honey – raw honey can add a more complex flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender or regular blender to mix the ingredients.
- Store in a clear glass jar to easily see when it needs a good shake before use.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Always taste and adjust seasonings to your personal preference.
- This dressing is incredibly versatile – try it as a dip, marinade, or sandwich spread for extra excitement!
