Ingredients
- ¼ cup chopped English cucumber
- 1 TBSP chopped red onion
- 1.5 TBSP wasabi powder (see notes below)
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- ¼ cup low-fat buttermilk
- ¼ cup all-natural mayonnaise
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp dried dill (optional)
Instructions
- Get Blending! After chopping your veggies, add all the above ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
- The dressing will thicken after spending a little time in the fridge and you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of greek yogurt to thicken immediately. I like my dressings a bit more runny since they cover more ground (aka veggies!) that way. Enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Recipe yields 1 cup of delicious dressing!
- I keep wasabi powder on hand since it has a longer shelf-life than the paste. I can keep it handy alongside my spices and mix up as much or as little wasabi paste as I need this way and LOVE it! If you're running to the store, I suggest hunting this down.
- If you already have wasabi paste handy, just adjust the amount added to the dressing per your tastebuds since different brands will vary in intensity. Start small and add extra to taste.
