1-1/4 cups mayo see note 1
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon diced red onion
1 tablespoon basil freeze-dried or fresh (finely chopped), see note 2
1 tablespoon cilantro freeze-dried or fresh (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon parsley freeze-dried or fresh (finely chopped)
1 up to 1-1/2 tablespoons dill added to preference; freeze-dried or fresh (finely chopped)
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Salt and pepper

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor in order listed. Season to taste; I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth, ensuring herbs are evenly mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs to preference. It will taste best after chilling in fridge.
Transfer to a mason jar or lidded container. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Stir before serving. If needed, thin with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Drizzle over salads, bowl meals, roasted veggies, or use as a dip!

Note 1: I love Hellman’s/Best Foods® in this dressing. With a lot of mayo, a tasty one makes all the difference!

Note 2: Freeze-dried herbs offer fresh flavor with zero prep, making them a quick and easy option especially when fresh herbs aren't an option.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. This dressing doesn’t freeze or thaw well.
