And that is coming from someone who has never really been one for dips and dressings!

Well that’s not entirely true, I did go through a massive french onion dip phase in my teenage years  . . . but apart from that – dips and dressings have never really taken my fancy.

Unless of course we’re talking about guacamole. Avocados = life!

But, a few weeks ago I was making dinner – the

chicken souvlaki kebabs from The Practical Paleo Second Edition Book – and I got this unshakeable urge to make some creamy, Greek style dressing/dipping sauce to go with.

So I opened the fridge and randomly threw together a sauce that turned out to be so incredible delicious that it totally blew my mind!

Since then, there has been no turning back!

This dressing is everything!

I seriously can’t stop!

It’s great on salads, it’s great on burgers, it would be amazing drizzled over some roasted pumpkin or crispy taters too but it’s also great simply slathered onto some fresh cut veggies carrots are my fave but cucumber, broccoli, capsicum/peppers are all good to – you name it, it just works!

Seriously, so good!

And you know what makes it even better?!

The fact that it comes together in less than 2 minutes using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and it also happens to be vegan, gluten free, dairy free and paleo friendly.

Everybody wins!!!!!

You have a few options on how to make it. To keep it vegan, dairy free & paleo make it with coconut milk (the cream that settles at the top of the can) or  you could use coconut yogurt if you prefer. If you’re OK with dairy you could sub in your favorite Greek style yogurt either way promise me you will do what you gotta do to get this deliciously dreamy, creamy, 2 minute garlic and dill dressing in your life, asap!

Once you’ve decided on your creamy base all you need to do it stir in your seasonings, add a squeeze of lemon juice and boom, you’re done!

So simple I know but this creamy, dreamy 2 minute garlic and dill dressing packs a serious flavor punch!

It’s such a deliciously simple way to spice things up and add a tonne of flavor to your favorite meal or snack.

Creamy, 2 minute Garlic and Dill Dressing {Vegan, Gluten Free & Paleo Friendly}

Makes approx 1 cup of all natural, quick and easy, creamy, dreamy, 2 minute garlic and dill dressing

Ingredients –

1 cup coconut or Greek style yoghurt (or 1 cup of coconut milk cream*  – when I made it this way I used 2 cans of coconut milk,left them in the fridge open over night and scooped the cream off the top)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon of freshly squeeze lemon juice (approx 1/3 of a medium sized lemon)

1 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

Method –

* If doing to coconut milk option the night before you want to make your dressing you will need to open your cans of coconut milk and place them, uncovered in the fridge overnight.

Overnight the cream will separate and solidify at the top of the can leaving the luscious coconut water at the bottom making it easier for you to scoop out the creamy, dreamy deliciousness.

Keep the coconut water (or freeze in an ice cube tray) to use in smoothies or just drink it as is – yum.

1 – Place all ingredients into a small bowl and stir until well combined.

2 – Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. Also, if you prefer a thinner consistency add a touch of coconut or almond milk (or milk of choice) a teaspoon at a time to reach desired consistency.

3 – Drizzle over your favorite salad, roasted veg, carrot and zucchini fritters or use it to simply dip fresh cut veggie sticks for a seriously flavorful snack.

4 – Store in an air-tight container in the fridge and should keep well for up to 7 days but I doubt it will last that long, mine never does 😉

Enjoy xo
