A Healthy Creamy Herb Salad Dressing is possible & worth the taste!
Just because it’s creamy doesn’t mean it has to be fattening or unhealthy. Just because it’s healthy, doesn’t mean it has to be tasteless and no fun.
Healthy Creamy Herb Salad Dressing:
I dare you to eat healthier and more deliciously – try this dressing on your next salad…You’ll be glad you did.
Type: Salad Dressing Recipe
Serve with: salad, baked potatoes, or as a dip; perfect for Niçoise Salad
Prep Time: 5 min
Yield: about 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain yogurt – I prefer Balkan style; don’t skimp here; get higher fat, organic
- 2 tbsp kefir – or buttermilk
- FYI: Did you know buttermilk is actually low in fat, despite the name?
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp mayonnaise – use organic or homemade; I prefer Polish mayonnaise for taste.
- 1 tbsp chives – finely chopped; or green onions
- 1 tbsp parsley – freshly chopped
- 1 tbsp dill – freshly chopped
- 1 clove garlic – finely minced
- 1/4 tsp mustard powder – or 1/2 tsp wet mustard
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- freshly cracked black pepper – to taste
- 1 pinch sea salt – to taste
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients with a whisk or fork, until completely mixed.
- Taste test and adjust salt & pepper, to taste.
- Serve over salad, on baked potatoes or as a dip. Enjoy!
- Tip: If the dressing is too tangy for you, add 1 tsp honey, and mix through.
This is a healthy dressing for any salad. To make it lower in fat, you may use fat free mayonnaise, or no mayonnaise at all.
I hope you enjoyed this healthy creamy herb salad dressing – you will want to make it often for your homemade salads.
