• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic clove and finely mince it, or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and tomato paste. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Add the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, and dried oregano to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.

Season with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 5

If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust any seasonings as needed, such as more lemon juice for tanginess or honey for sweetness.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a sealed container or jar and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
