2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch paprika (optional)
Instructions

2. In a medium bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
3. Whisk everything together until smooth and fully blended.
4. Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar as needed.

Notes
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, and use vegan mayo or yogurt.
Letting the dressing sit for 15–30 minutes enhances the flavor by allowing ingredients to meld.
Thin with a splash of water or vinegar if it becomes too thick after refrigeration.
