This simple yogurt dressing is one of my go-to recipes for green salads! It’s healthy, packed with flavor, and super easy to make. I use plant-based yogurt to make it vegan.
Why This Recipe Works
I’m a huge fan of green salads. Especially over the warmer months, they make such a great and healthy lunch. This easy yogurt dressing is one of my favorite dressings and I make it almost every week.
I usually make a larger batch and then store it in the fridge to make things easier on the next few days. Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it will keep up to 3-4 days.
The preparation couldn’t be much easier and all you need is 5 minutes. I used vegan yogurt, one clove of garlic, fresh herbs, olive oil, white wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Just place everything into a bowl and stir until combined.
You can use any fresh herbs you like, but my favorites are parsley, dill, and chives. For the best flavor, I highly recommend using fresh herbs, but the recipe also works well with frozen herbs.
Besides, it’s important to use unsweetened yogurt for this dressing. I usually use coconut or soy yogurt.
What Goes Into This Recipe
- Yogurt – use your favorite plant-based yogurt. Make sure it’s unsweetened. I usually use coconut or soy yogurt.
- Olive Oil – I recommend high quality extra virgin olive oil. It really makes a difference in taste.
- Garlic – I used one clove of garlic.
- Herbs – use freshly chopped herbs. I used parsley, dill, and chives.
- Vinegar – white wine vinegar.
- Lemon Juice – use fresh lemon juice.
- Salt & Pepper
How To Make This Recipe
1. Step: Finely chop the parsley and dill and cut the chives into rings. Finely chop the garlic or use a garlic press. Juice the lemon. Then place all ingredients into a small bowl.
2. Step: Stir until well combined. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later.
Recipe Notes
- To make a richer version of this dressing, you could add a few teaspoons of vegan sour cream to the yogurt.
- You could also use other herbs. For example fresh basil is a great choice!
- If you want to change things up a bit, you could also add 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a bit of tomato paste for an Italian version.
