HEALTHY SALAD DRESSING RECIPE TIPS

When it comes to yogurt, I’m a big fan of the Greek Yogurt that I make at home, as it’s creamy and not too sour. However, you can certainly make this recipe with store-bought natural yogurt. If you are calorie-conscious and prefer the low-fat version of this yogurt-based dip, feel free to swap out the full-fat yogurt for fat-free plain yogurt.
My favorite fresh herbs to use in this dressing are parsley or dill. These herbs go well with yogurt and blend well with the other ingredients. However, you can switch it up by using your favorite herb.

HOW TO USE THIS NATURAL GREEK YOGURT DRESSING

My favorite way to use this yogurt salad dressing is in a Geek salad, as it tastes great with the Greek salad ingredients. A Greek salad usually contains cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and Feta cheese. The fresh flavors of the yogurt and lime juice in this healthy yogurt salad dressing recipe elevate the flavors of the Greek salad!

You can also use it on other salads like my cucumber salad or drizzle over zucchini fritters or falafels.

However, this healthy yogurt salad dressing doesn’t have to be used to top salads! You can use it as a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables or as a marinade for meat!

IS GREEK YOGURT SALAD DRESSING REALY HEALTHY

Yes, this Greek yogurt salad dressing is a healthy substitution for heavy cream or mayo base dressings. It has the creaminess you love without all the calories and fat. Greek yogurt is hight in protein and a good source of probiotics, or healthy bacteria that live in our guts and have different health benefits. Probiotics support gut health, digestion and immune functioning. But moderation is the key, even for healthy options!

HOW TO STORE YOGURT SALAD DRESSING

This healthy yogurt salad dressing won’t last as long as a store-bought dressing, as this yogurt dressing doesn’t contain the preservatives that most store-bought do.

So I would check the expiration date on the yogurt you are using for the recipe and then add a week or two to that. The lemon juice in the recipe will help preserve it a little longer. Use an airtight container to store the sauce.
