Why you’ll love this recipe

• Creamy dressing without mayo – I love a creamy salad dressing, but mayonnaise can be a polarizing ingredient for some people. This yogurt salad dressing is a delicious creamy dressing but uses Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise. Plus, it adds a bit of protein to your dressing!
• Perfect for meal prep – This greek yogurt dressing is the perfect thing to make on a Sunday and enjoy all week long.
• Easy to make – Combine all ingredients and whisk! There’s no emulsifying or chopping involved, so there’s almost no prep time. It is also easy to adjust. If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency. If it is too thin, add a little more Greek yogurt.
• Sweet, tangy flavor – It is a perfect balance of sweetness and tang using ingredients like yogurt, honey, and apple cider vinegar. The flavor pairs well with a vegetable loaded green salad!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s a quick look at the ingredients you need to make this greek yogurt salad dressing. For a full list of ingredients and amounts please head to the full recipe.

• 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

Full fat or whole milk Greek yogurt will give the creamiest results. Low fat yogurt works too, but the dressing may be a little thinner and more tangy.

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.
