Ingredients
- Greek yogurt or a non-dairy yogurt – use your favorite brand of plain Greek yogurt
- Olive oil – I use extra virgin olive oil because it adds a little flavor
- Apple cider vinegar – the vinegar adds acidity to brighten all the flavors
- Honey – honey is the perfect sweetener for your dressing
- Kosher salt, garlic powder, dried dill – this simple spice blend adds a delicious Greek flavor
Ingredient Substitutions
In place of the olive oil, you could use a light, neutral oil like an avocado oil. Instead of apple cider vinegar, white or red wine vinegar are great options. For the honey, maple syrup is a good alternative.
You can also use this greek yogurt dressing recipe as a base to mix it up with some other flavors! Add pepper and lemon juice for some extra tang to create a greek yogurt ranch.
Instead of the garlic powder, you could add a pressed garlic clove. Feel free to add any other flavors or spices to taste, such as dijon mustard, onion powder or oregano.
I find it easiest to whisk this Greek salad dressing, but it can also be made in a blender or food processor.
