Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

This Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing recipe is perfectly balanced with the tang of Dijon mustard, the sweetness of honey, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. This is a creamy dressing you can feel good about!

I’m so in love with this Greek yogurt dressing!

I am a huge lover of salads of every kind and most of the time, I whip up a simple vinaigrette and call it a day. But, there are those times when there’s no denying the craving for a creamy salad dressing.

I tried multiple times to create a Greek yogurt-based salad dressing but they all just kind of fell flat. That’s when I turned to my beloved Apple Cider Vinaigrette recipe for inspiration. I found that whisking a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar into plain Greek yogurt added just the right amount of tang and the mouth feel you want in a creamy dressing. This recipe contains no mayonnaise and you won’t miss it.

Ingredients

Greek yogurt: I use 2% plain Greek yogurt but this recipe will work with nonfat or whole fat Greek yogurt too.
Oil and vinegar: Extra-virgin olive oil and just a touch of apple cider vinegar.
Mustard and honey: Dijon mustard is balanced perfectly with the sweetness from a little honey. As written, this is a comparatively low calorie salad dressing but you can reduce the calories even more by using less honey, if you’d like.
Lemon: Juiced.
Garlic: Pressed or minced.
Seasoning: Fine ground sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Fresh herbs: I love this dressing with a little finely chopped fresh basil. You can substitute Italian parsley, chives, or basil if you’d like.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

1. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl.
2. Then, whisk the mixture until well combined. Done!

Storing Homemade Creamy Salad Dressing

Transfer the Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate. This dressing will stay fresh for up to a week, but make sure to give it a good shake or stir before using, as the ingredients may separate over time. When you add fresh herbs to a salad dressing, you’ll get the best flavor out of it if you use it within a few days.

Serving Suggestions

This versatile creamy salad dressing is perfect for drizzling over mixed greens or a crisp kale salad topped with grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted vegetables. Try using it as a dip for fresh veggies or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps to add a creamy, zesty twist. For a light pasta salad, toss this dressing with cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese for a tasty Mediterranean twist.
