I wanted something easy, filling, and always on hand when creating this recipe. That’s when I turned to my favorite food group—yogurt.

Why Add Greek yogurt to a Salad Dressing?



mixing yogurt dressingPin

Substituting nonfat Greek yogurt for some of the oil makes the calorie count more reasonable. My personal standard for salad dressing is 80 calories or below per serving. This recipe comes in at 53 calories per serving (2 tablespoons).

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • BALSAMIC VINEGAR:
    • Substitute white vinegar, apple vinegar, or white wine vinegar.
    • Cheaper balsamic vinegar is sufficient. Save the expensive stuff for the spotlight*
  • LIGHT SOY SAUCE:
    • Use coconut aminos or regular soy sauce
    • Skip added salt with regular soy sauce.
  • DIJON MUSTARD:
    • Mustard adds umami
    • Substitute your favorite mustard
  • HONEY:
    • Substitute suggestion: maple syrup
  • GREEK YOGURT:
    • Fat-free for the lowest calories
    • Regular yogurt works but with a thinner consistency
  • OLIVE OIL:
    • Extra-virgin preferred
    • Any fresh vegetable oil is acceptable
  • SALT:
    • Taste before adding due to soy sauce saltiness


FAQ

QUESTION: What makes one balsamic vinegar more expensive than another?

ANSWER: How long the vinegar has aged makes a big difference–the longer, the better. If the vinegar is thick and syrupy, it’s more likely to be expensive. Cheaper balsamic vinegar contains a lot of red wine and caramel coloring.

QUESTION: What foods go best with this dressing?

ANSWER: Try this Balsamic and Yogurt Salad Dressing with a lettuce, fruit, and nut combo. It pairs perfectly with chicken and sliced oranges, dried cranberries and almonds, dried blueberries, and toasted pecans. It’s also great with romaine, teriyaki chicken, and pineapple. For a twist, serve it as a dip on a relish plate instead of Ranch dressing.



Incidentally, a serving of salad dressing is usually two tablespoons. Going overboard is easy. Whenever I’m being obsessive and measuring it out, two tablespoons is rarely enough. Just sayin’.

Parting Thoughts: If you enjoy making salad dressings, check out my Creamy Strawberry Yogurt Salad Dressing. Or, if you want to make mayonnaise that lasts longer than most homemade mayonnaise, try this mayonnaise made with a small amount of yogurt whey.

One of my favorite homemade dressings comes from Sally at Real Mom Nutrition for White Balsamic Viniagrette. Her recipe calls for white balsamic vinegar and other herbs. If you can find the vinegar, it’s a breeze to put together.

    I made the dressing exactly as listed. It was delicious! It has helped me consume my daily 4 cups of salad mix. Thanks !

  2. 5 stars
    This is a very nice tasting lower calorie dressing. I did decrease the olive oil to about 1/8 cup, and instead added another 2-3 tbs of greek yogurt. This keeps the calorie count even lower while still giving the dressing some body. I find that the amount of olive oil in salad dressing recipes is often unnecessary and can be decreased, especially if there is greek yogurt in the recipe, if you are trying to save calories or enjoy a lot of dressing on salads.

    1. Hi Karen,

      So happy that it works for you.

  3. 5 stars
    I’ve tried making salad dressings before but have always found them to be overpowering. This one however, is perfect. So delicious and easy to make. I ommitted the olive oil to save on calories but did add an extra tbsp of yoghurt. I will definitely be making this again!

    1. Hi Emma,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Enjoy!

    I omitted the extra virgin olive oil. This dressing was amazing. More calories and fat cut. It ended up being 46 calories per tablespoon.

    1. Thank you for writing. People who like to cut fat from their recipes will appreciate you sharing how you did it.

  5. 5 stars
    This dressing is delicious and the 2 T. serving covers a salad very well. This will be going in my recipe binder and will be made on repeat. Thank you!

    1. Hi Kristen,

      Thank you for taking the time to write and for the 5-star rating. I’m glad you thought this recipe was a keeper.

  6. Donna Thornton says:

    5 stars
    I added about 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard to give this more tang, delicious

    1. Thank you for taking the time to write and share your addition. I bet other readers would like to try this, too.

  7. 5 stars
    Very good – thank you! I found it a bit too sweet on a green salad but it would be perfect on a salad with some fruit and cheese in it. Will definitely make again.

    1. Thank you for the 5-star review. Glad you liked it.

  8. 5 stars
    Wow, just what I was hoping to achieve. It’s delicious

    1. Excellent! This is what I like to hear.

  9. 5 stars
    Loved it! Made it with a balsamic reduction I already had in the fridge, and because that was so sweet, I only needed a teaspoon of honey. I also used Silk almond milk yogurt. Had it with my favorite salad of spinach and bib lettuce, pistachios & dried cranberries. Delish! 😋

    1. Your whole salad sounds delicious. Off to the store to buy some pistachios.

  10. Patricia L Evans says:

    I have high blood pressure. The sodium count is high. Sounds like a good dressing. Can I leave out soy and salt and other salt ingredients? Do you have a low salt version? Thanks.

    1. Hi Patricia,
      You might try substituting coconut aminos for the soy sauce. It will give you the same umami flavor without nearly as much salt.

  11. 5 stars
    Loved this dressing! I had all the ingredients except for honey so, I used 30 ml of dark maple syrup instead. Should I have used more or less syrup?

    1. Hi Dianne,
      Glad you like the dressing. Use whatever tastes best to you. That’s the beauty of making things yourself.

  12. Maria Simjen says:

    I love this light dressing, thank you, but I find the balsamic sweet enough so I leave out the honey.

    1. Good for you, Maria. Since balsamic vinegars vary, it probably depends on the brand and type you buy–and of course, the intensity of your sweet tooth.

  13. Yum!! Thanks, what great flavor!

    1. Glad you liked it, Leah.

  14. 5 stars
    excellent, gourmet quality! i do not buy dressing anymore and always looking for new natural recipes. only thing is that i put in the whole 6 oz of plain chobani b.c when i crave creamy, i want creamy! make the dressing as is and taste test to see for yourself. i thought it was too runny for a creamy dressing. put all of yogurt in the container to good use. it will cut back the bite of the balsamic which is good for more subtle flavor.

    Just found this when I googled “yogurt salad dressing recipe.” I made it with my homemade yogurt (whole milk so not actually lowfat) and a little less honey and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe! I’ll have to explore your blog now 🙂

  18. 5 stars
    Totally yummy. I always make my own dressing but this beats them all. Just delicious on leaves, feta cheese and nuts and seeds. Bet it would be great on avocado salad too. Thanks for posting. Just what I needed.

  19. 5 stars
    I am in HEAVEN with this dressing, OMG!!!!! I have been looking for a creamy balsamic recipe without all the fat, and this is just the PERFECT combination of ingredients (except I substituted Splenda for the honey because I’m on a low carb diet). I foresee myself eating a lot more veggies now that I have this to dip them in!!

  20. 5 stars
    Yummy. I used regular low-fat yogurt and added fresh grated ginger.

    I’ve always loved creamy balsamic dressing and searched for a low-fat version to make tonight. This was fantastic!! I didn’t have any greek yogurt (or any yogurt) at home so I used fat-free sour cream instead. I had to add a little bit more sour cream (maybe another tablespoon?) and I love this dressing! Thanks for posting!

  23. 5 stars
    A local restaurant serves a balsamic dressing that I love. I have tried several recipes, but have never been able to replicate at home. I made this for dinner tonight and it is almost jsut like the restaurant. Very delicious. I am so excited to be able to have my favorite salad anytime I want now.

  24. 5 stars
    I LOVE this dressing! I finnaly have a great low fat dressing without all the garbage thats in store bought dressings. Thank you

  25. 5 stars
    This is really easy and one of the best salad dressings I have ever eaten! I made a batch and it looked to be thinner than pictured, but that made it really easy to coat my salad without using alot of dressing. I did use spicy brown mustard only because I already had that on hand. Have you tried a Ranch style dressing with the Greek yogurt?

  26. 5 stars
    Thanks for the great recipe. I’ve already made one batch and I am about to make another right now!

  27. 5 stars
    This was AMAZING!! I will most likely NOT make olive oil-lemon juice dressing for a very long time!!

    Yummy! Lots of flavor!

    1. Glad you enjoyed it Amy. Thanks for the rating!

  32. Several people have asked how long it will keep in the fridge, but there has been no reply/answer… I live alone and to make this would be a waste without knowing how long it will last.. Helloooooo, any answers????

    1. Hi Jenn,
      Unfortunately, homemade dressing doesn’t have all the preservatives found in a commercial dressing. A week is a conservative estimate for how long this dressing will keep in the fridge. Yours might last a little longer depending on how fresh the ingredients are to begin with. Hope this helps.

  33. margaret gurney says:

    Tried this and liked it. Found it sweet enough and did not add the honey. Quick and easy. Also used soy sauce substitute called Naked Coconuts. Worked well.

  34. My friend made this and it was amazing. I have one question. I would like to omit the honey and use Stevie instead. Do you think this could work? Any attempt at it before?

    1. I have not actually tried it Kristie, but I don’t see why Stevia wouldn’t work.

  35. Thank you for the recipe. How long can it keep in the fridge?
    Thanks!

    1. Kari,
      Did I answer this already? My apologies either way. I think it’s good for about 2 weeks.

  36. Courtney M. says:

    I’m trying to lose some weight and be healthy, but I’m not a big fan of salads. I’m also super picky about salad dressing, usually opting for fattening ranch. I’ve tried a few healthy dressings, but haven’t been super impressed. Until now, that is. I made your dressing tonight on a whim, and loved it! I had everything on hand to make it and it is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! (My husband loved it too!)

    1. Glad to hear it Courtney! Thanks for writing.

  37. Theresa @aloveafare says:

    I was searching for a creamy balsamic dressing recipe and yours was the first recipe to come up. I’m glad because I made this tonight and it was exactly what I wanted. Thank you for this recipe. It was not too tangy and had just the right amount of creamy texture. I will be adding into the rotation.

  38. I am wondering how many calories there are per serving if I use regular soy sauce and 2% Fage Greek yogurt. Good recipe, I liked it!

  39. YUM! I made this without the honey & oil to save some more calories & even this way was delicious! Put it on a big green salad that included strawberries & grapes (the strawberries made it!)

    The yogurt is really what made – gave me the creamy texture I love in a salad dressing. Thanks for a great recipe idea!

  40. Thanks! This dressing was great!!!! I used a little less honey and oil to cut the calories even more. I used it in a baby kale salad with black olives, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and fresh peach slices. My husband and I loved it.

  41. Hey there, this recipe looks yummy! I was just wondering how long would it keep in the fridge?? Should you go by the advice on the Greek yoghurt?

  42. Do you think you retain the probiotic effects from the Greek yogurt after adding the other ingredients?? This looks great! Must try! Thanks!!

    1. Hi Suzy,
      I’m not a food scientist so I have no clue about the answer to your question. I confess that I know next to nothing about probiotics in yogurt. I make and eat Greek yogurt because I love the taste and it satisfies my appetite for white, creamy stuff in a healthier way than ice cream. The idea that it is good for your digestive system and contains tons of protein is not completely lost on me but it’s not the reason my husband and I go through 2 quarts of Greek yogurt a week.

  43. I just realized this comment was in a previous post. I used it up to 2 weeks as well. Sorry about that! However, I still thank you for posting the recipe – YUMMO!!

  44. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this fabulous recipe! It’s the only dressing I’ll eat on my salads! 🙂 And I feel so healthy eating it, too. 🙂 Do you know how long it will keep? Sometimes I make a double batch to keep at work and I’m just wondering if it goes bad. I think with the vinegar it would last a while, wouldn’t you? Thanks again!

  45. Paula, this is a great recipe for low fat dressing! Thanks for sharing. Small question- how long will it last in the fridge?

    1. Good question GS. Standard answer is a week but would use it up to two weeks myself.

  46. I just made this, it was really excellent! I had to omit the soy sauce because I’m allergic to it, but it turned out great anyway.

  47. Just wanted to say that I made this tonight and it was delicious!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

  48. Just made this, LOVE it, so does my husband & daughter!!
    Thanks for the great recipe!

  54. Catherine says:

    Can I make this without the mustard? As much as I wish I liked mustard I really hate it!
    Otherwise it looks amazing.

    1. Catherine,

      I haven’t tried it but I guess when you make it yourself, you can do what you want. 🙂

    2. @Catherine, Did you ever try to make this without the mustard? If so, how did it turn out? I am in the same mustard boat as you haha…Thanks!

  55. This is a great recipe, and would be really healthy if it wasn’t for the soy sauce – high in sodium and contains sodium benzoate, a nasty preservative. Any ideas for an ingredient to substitute?

    1. Sorry Melissa, I have no ideas or suggestions for a substitute. The soy sauce is not a problem for me, personally, in such small amounts.

    2. you might try braggs liquid aminos. an all natural soy substitute. very good.

  59. Paula, I’m giving this a try tomorrow! I can’t thank you enough for showing me how to make Greek Yogurt, I make it every few days and I’m totally addicted. And it’s so nice to be addicted to something healthy for a change!

    Keep on doing what you’re doing, I’m learning so much from you!

  60. The Frugal Free Gal says:

    Thank you! I look forward to trying this! I always just use an olive oil with splash of vinegar dressing but I want a little change up! I love the ingredients in this one!

  61. Great dressing.
    I add a clove of crushed garlic for a little extra kick

    1. Why, of course. Why didn’t I think of that?! pr

  62. I can’t wait to try this! I love balsamic vinaigrettes but I have been searching for something more low calorie. I have a raspberry balsamic vinegar I am full on obsessed with right now and I think this recipe is perfect for it. Yum!

  63. Tried this the other day and its now on my favourites bar – its really good. I had it with tuna bean and avocado salad. Added a hit of chilli and garlic to spice it up – YUM!

    I was Googling homemade low-cal salad dressings and bookmarked this recently – just made this and wanted to let you know that I think it’s DELICIOUS! Tangy, zesty and creamy – all w/o a lot of oil or guilt. Thanks!

    1. So glad you liked it Sarah. If you’re like me and eat a lot of salad, you’re always looking for something new.

      1. I agree with Sarah . . . this dressing is delicious!! Thanks so much:)

  85. Christian News paper says:

    It looks very tasty cannot wait to taste it thanks for giving the method to make it I will surelly try it.Hope you share more

  86. this looks yummy. Thinking of making for a Christmas gift. How long will it stay good??

  87. SO Yummy! Thanks for the post!

  88. I also make my own yogurt, and use it all the time for dips and dressings—gotta love those probiotics! I used this dressing for a basic salad topped with spicy candied almonds, and my whole family loved it, even the toddler who has had zero interest in salads up until now. Thanks for the recipe!

  89. This sounds great! I always take salad to work for lunch and it can get boring to keep eating the same dressing.

  90. Stealing this one, thank you!

  91. We are salad eater and this is the perfect cross between creamy and vinaigrette.
    Mimi

  92. sounds like a yummy healthy dressing, romaine! Definitely a good thing to include to live up to your “salad-in-a-jar” name, romaine! Keep these condiments coming! 🙂

  93. This sounds really good….thanks Paula!

  94. Um… this looks GOOD! And lo-cal…. that photo is stunning! Would I be kicked out of a Salad Club if I admitted I use those Spritzers (when they’re on sale)? And that I make my own spritzer with dijon mustard and water – shake, spritz and enjoy? It’s a mustardy spritzy kind of thing. 🙂 Great post!

  95. Your Creamy Balsamic Dressing sounds great, I have it on my “to try” list. Another option and one with NO prep time required, is to dress a salad with Nakano Seasoned Red Wine Vinegar. No oil is needed as it is delicious as it is, and 1 T contains only 20 calories. Nakano also makes Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar as well as a Balsamic Blend. All of their products that I have tried are quite good.
