Batch Greek Yoghurt Dressings (3 Recipes)

Standard shop-bought dressings are calorie traps — often 100–150 calories per tablespoon. These three Greek yoghurt dressings come in at under 50 calories per 2-tablespoon serving and each adds 5g of protein. Make all three in 10 minutes at the start of the week.

Dressing 1 — Lemon and Herb Yoghurt

• 200g fat-free Greek yoghurt
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh or dried dill
• Salt and pepper
• Water to thin

Mix all ingredients together. Store in the fridge up to 5 days.

Dressing 2 — Chipotle Lime

• 200g fat-free Greek yoghurt
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tsp chipotle paste
• ½ tsp cumin
• Salt

Mix all ingredients together. Store in the fridge up to 5 days.

Dressing 3 — Honey Mustard

• 200g fat-free Greek yoghurt
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together. Store in the fridge up to 5 days.

Method

1. Make each dressing by combining all ingredients in a small jar.
2. Whisk or shake until smooth. Add water 1 tsp at a time to reach a pourable consistency.
3. Label and refrigerate.
4. Use as salad dressing, wrap sauce, bowl topping, or dip.

Nutrition Notes

Greek yoghurt dressings deliver protein alongside flavour — a calorie benefit you don't get from oil-based vinaigrettes. Replacing a standard caesar dressing with one of these across your lunches can save 150–200 calories per meal.
