Description

This easy creamy Greek yogurt salad dressing is a healthier alternative to traditional creamy dressings. It’s tangy, smooth, and packed with flavor—perfect for drizzling over greens, using as a dip, or spreading on wraps. Comes together in minutes with pantry staples!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like dill, parsley, or chives) – optional


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.

  2. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  3. Stir in fresh herbs if desired.

  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake before using.


Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture, or go with low-fat for a lighter option.

  • Feel free to swap lemon juice for lime for a citrusy twist.

  • This dressing thickens in the fridge—just whisk or shake with a splash of water or milk before using.
