Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the plain yogurt. Use a spatula or a whisk to ensure the yogurt is smooth and creamy.
- Next, pour in the 2 tablespoons of honey. This will add sweetness to the dressing. Use the spatula or whisk to mix the honey thoroughly into the yogurt.

- Now, squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. This will add a refreshing tang and balance the sweetness of the honey. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Once the dressing is well mixed, taste it and adjust the sweetness or acidity if desired by adding more honey or lemon juice according to your preference.
- Transfer the yogurt dressing to a serving bowl or a jar for easy storage. If not using immediately, cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips
- Choose full-fat plain yogurt for a richer, creamier texture
- Use fresh, high-quality honey for the best natural sweetness
- Opt for real vanilla extract instead of artificial flavoring
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice works best for a bright, zesty flavor
- Chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld
- Experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of mint for extra complexity
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days
- For a dairy-free version, try using coconut yogurt as a substitute
