Ingredients
  

For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard The star of the show, adding bold tang; for a twist, try spicy brown mustard!
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Provides necessary acidity; swap for white wine vinegar for a milder option.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Balances the tang with sweetness; use maple syrup or agave for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 clove Garlic Infuses aromatic depth; feel free to omit for a milder flavor.
  • 1/2 lemon Lemon Juice Brightens the mix; adjust to your taste preferences for perfect zing!
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Creates a luxurious, creamy emulsion; select a high-quality oil for the best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt Adds creaminess; substitute with unsweetened plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances overall flavors; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper Provides seasoning; switch to white pepper for a subtler touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Offers herbaceous notes; use fresh oregano for an intensified flavor profile.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking for about 3-4 minutes until the dressing thickens and turns silken.
  3. Mix in the plain Greek yogurt until the dressing is smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Sprinkle in the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir gently until well combined and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  5. Allow the mustard salad dressing to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  6. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
