Yogurt dressing is a creamy and tangy condiment typically made using plain yogurt as its base. Often enhanced with ingredients like olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices, this versatile dressing is a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Its rich flavor pairs well with salads, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and even grain bowls. Yogurt dressing stands out as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise-based dressings due to its lower fat content and higher protein levels. Plain yogurt, especially when made from probiotic-rich Greek or natural yogurt, contributes beneficial bacteria that support gut health. Additionally, the inclusion of heart-healthy olive oil and fresh herbs further boosts its nutritional value. However, variations containing excessive sugar, cream, or high-fat yogurt can diminish its health benefits. Choosing plain, unsweetened yogurt and fresh ingredients ensures that yogurt dressing remains a wholesome, flavorful addition to any meal.
