Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt. This will serve as the creamy base for your dressing.
- Next, incorporate the mayonnaise into the bowl with the Greek yogurt. This will add richness and help balance the tanginess of the yogurt.
- Now, add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the mixture. Use a fork to gently fold it in, allowing some of the cheese to remain chunky for added texture.
- Pour in the lemon juice. This will brighten the flavors and add a refreshing zing to the dressing.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder into the bowl. This will provide a subtle garlic flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure the Gorgonzola is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
- Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may want to add a pinch of salt or more lemon juice according to your preference.
- Once the dressing is well mixed and seasoned to your liking, transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve your Greeked Out Gorgonzola Dressing over salads, as a dip for vegetables, or drizzled over grilled meats for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- Use high-quality Gorgonzola cheese for the most intense flavor profile.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk or buttermilk to the dressing.
- For a healthier version, opt for low-fat Greek yogurt and mayonnaise.
- The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding fresh herbs like chopped chives or dill.
- Allow the dressing to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors fully develop and meld together.
- If the dressing is too thick, thin it out with a little water or additional lemon juice.
- Experiment with different types of Gorgonzola (dolce or piccante) to find your perfect flavor intensity.
