Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 anchovy fillets, mashed into a paste (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons water (or more, for thinning)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, anchovy paste (if using), Parmesan cheese, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk all ingredients together until completely smooth and well combined.
- Add water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until you reach your desired dressing consistency.
- Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings, adding more lemon juice or salt if needed.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dressing for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with plain, unsweetened soy or almond yogurt and omit the anchovies and Parmesan cheese, adding extra nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- If you prefer a stronger anchovy flavor, add one more fillet.
- This dressing thickens as it chills; add more water when serving if necessary.
