Greek Yogurt Herb Dressing (5-minute Dressing)

This 5-Minute Greek Yogurt Dressing is a game-changer in the kitchen. It’s creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor, making it the perfect addition to salads, veggies, or even as a dip for your favorite snacks.

Toss the store-bought dressing and cook healthier with wholesome ingredients from scratch—it’s easier than you think!

The taste of this creamy Greek Yogurt Herb Dressing is so luxurious that you’ll love adding it to many other recipes as it instantly brightens any dish.-The Yummy Bowl

As a mom and a food professional, I know how hard it can be to make dinner, but trust me, this dressing is simple and comes together in just 5 minutes.

Plus, it keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it perfect for meal prep or last-minute meals.

I love using this dressing on my Mediterranean Pasta Salad, Greek Lemon Potatoes, and drizzle on top of Souvlaki.

It’s the quick, easy, and delicious way to bring a little Mediterranean flair to any meal!

Ingredients You'll Need for Making Greek Yogurt Dressing

  • Yogurt - use plain Greek yogurt. Its thick, creamy texture and tangy flavor will complement the honey, herbs, and mustard really well. 
  • Honey - to balance the acidity of the lemon juice, yogurt and vinegar. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar. 
  • Apple cider vinegar - will give the dressing tangy and fruity notes. Alternatively, use red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar. 
  • Olive oil - a high-quality extra virgin olive oil will do wonders for texture and taste. 
  • Lemon juice - freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright zesty taste. 
  • Herbs - you'll need oregano and basil. We used dried herbs, but you can also use fresh herbs if that is what you have. 
  • Garlic powder - this will add a savory kick to the dressing. You can also use fresh garlic cloves, but make sure to grate them finely. 
  • Dijon mustard - provides a layered, nuanced taste to the dressing.

Tips When Making Homemade Salad Dressing

  • I recommend using full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier and richer dressing. However, add more olive oil or warm water if you prefer a thinner dressing.
  • Let the creamy salad dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using it to allow the flavors to blend. For the best flavor, make this recipe a day or two ahead of time. 
  • Taste and Adjust. After mixing, taste the dressing and add more lemon juice, salt and pepper, if needed.

Serving Suggestions for Greek Yogurt Dressing

Enjoy this creamy Greek yogurt salad dressing with my tried and favorite foods:

  • Use this dressing for fresh green salads of any kinds
  • Traditional Greek Salad
  • Summer Berry salads
  • Chicken Salad
  • Cucumber Salad
  • Roasted vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, beetroot, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli
  • Avocado
  • Add the Greek yogurt to a variety of cheeses like cream cheese, feta, goat and cheddar cheese
  • Sub with anything that you use mayonnaise for
  • Fruits like apples, pears and more

Julia's Tip

🫙 Use a mason jar or any lidded jar to vigorously shake the dressing before serving!

How to Store Homemade Creamy Greek Yogurt Dressing

This easy-to-make dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container or mason jar .

Give it a good shake or stir before using, as the ingredients may separate over time.

Can I use other herbs?

Absolutely! You can make this creamy yogurt dressing using different herbs instead of oregano and basil like dried dill, rosemary, or chive.

    Delicious! I made this to use with my Moroccan Lamb Meatballs when I didn't have any Tzatziki Sauce. I'll never go back! This sauce has so many flavors and cooled down the cayenne pepper in our meatballs just right! Yummy flavor that I can see using on sandwiches, salads, meats.
