Greek Yogurt Chia Dressing and Veggie Dip

Summer is coming and we'll be eating a lot of salads.  Will be trying out different dressings.  I like the idea of using chia seeds as a thickener.  And it only takes a small amount.

4 tbsps honey Greek yogurt
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley, loosely packed
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp lemon juice (or more)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup (or more) olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of black pepper

Process the above ingredients until smooth
then stir in
1/2 tsp chia seeds
If you are using plain Greek yogurt you may need to add a little sweetener (like honey) but this honey Greek yogurt from President's Choice worked very well with just the right amount of sweet.
Great as a veggie dip
or feel free to add a little more olive oil/lemon juice to use as a salad dressing.
