    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    If you're a fan of sweet and tangy salad dressings, you'll love this Yogurt Honey Mustard Dressing. It's versatile, delicious, and perfect for drizzling over your favorite salads or using it as a dip for chicken or veggies.

    It's quick and easy to make in just 5 minutes and is a healthier alternative because it uses wholesome ingredients without additives.

    Made healthier using Greek yogurt instead of the traditional homemade honey mustard dressings that are made with mayonnaise, it contains less saturated fat, lower calories, and higher protein. The yogurt gives it an extra tangy flavor and creamy texture.

    Try it as a dip for these Baked Cornflake Chicken Tenders or as a dressing for this Cheeseburger Bowl.

    Ingredients

    • Greek Yogurt: 0% fat plain Greek yogurt. You can use regular yogurt, but the dressing will be less creamy.
    • Olive Oil: A good quality extra virgin olive oil is the perfect base. You could substitute for any mild flavored oil that you prefer.
    • Apple Cider Vinegar: To give it that nice tangy flavor. Apple cider vinegar is the best option in this dressing, however you could substitute for lemon juice or white vinegar if you don't have any.
    • Honey: For sweetness. You could substitute for pure maple syrup if that's all you have on hand, however the flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
    • Mustard: Either dijon or yellow mustard works well in this recipe.
    • Garlic Powder: Just a little garlic powder gives this dressing so much depth of flavor.
    • Salt and Pepper: To taste.

    How to Make Yogurt Honey Mustard Dressing

    1. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk all the dressing ingredients together until smooth.
    2. Taste and adjust, as needed. If it's too thick, add water, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency.
    3. Serve immediately with your favorite recipe, or refrigerate in an air tight container for up to 3 days.

    Expert Tip: Use a high-quality yogurt for the best flavor, texture, and nutrition. Choose a thick greek yogurt with no added sugars or artificial ingredients. I like Fage.

    Variations

    You can easily customize it to your own tastes by adding more mustard if you like it mustardy or more cider vinegar for extra tang. Here are some other variations you may want to try.

    • Give it a kick. For a spicy version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
    • Make it extra creamy. Add more yogurt or a tablespoon of mayo. Taste and adjust to your own preferences.
    • Brighten it up. Swap the apple cider vinegar for freshly squeezed lemon juice for a tangy and bright dressing variation. Add in a little lemon zest for an extra boost of flavor.
    • Add some extra garlic and fresh herbs. Stir in some chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil, as well as a little minced garlic, for a new and flavorful dressing that's perfect for summer salads.
    • Make it vegan. Use vegan yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.

    Serving Suggestions

    Drizzle it over your favorite salad for a tangy and creamy finish, or use it as a dip for fresh vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, celery, and bell peppers. For a twist on the classic coleslaw, mix the dressing into your recipe for a zesty flavor.

    You can also try it as a spread on sandwiches and wraps, especially turkey sandwiches and BLTs, or drizzled over roasted vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or brussels sprouts. The possibilities are endless!
