Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for plain yogurt for a thicker and tangier dressing.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried, but reduce the quantity by half to avoid overpowering flavors.
- Adjust lemon juice gradually to avoid over-acidifying the dressing.
- This dressing pairs well with vegetables, salads, grilled meats, and as a dip for snacks.
- Keep refrigerated and discard if the dressing develops an off smell or appearance.
