Why make this creamy homemade yogurt dressing?
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I love Greek yogurt! It’s such a versatile ingredient that can elevate so many dishes, and it makes a great swap for heavier ingredients like mayonnaise.
Enter: this dressing! Creamy dressings are usually made with mayo or sour cream, but I prefer to use Greek yogurt! It’s packed with protein and just as creamy, with a deliciously tangy flavor.
This particular dressing features lime and honey, and works as a dressing for both sweeter and savory dishes. (For example: fruit salad or a green salad with grilled chicken). It can also be used as a dipping sauce!
Not only that, but it comes together in minutes and there’s no cooking or blending needed. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

What You’ll Need
You only need three ingredients to make this easy homemade dressing:
- plain Greek yogurt (Plain Greek yogurt is best here, since there’s no added sugar or flavors. I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt for the best flavor and creamiest texture, but you can use any kind you like.)
- limes (You’ll need both fresh lime juice and lime zest. Here’s a quick tip for juicing limes: use your palm to roll the lime over a hard surface like a countertop or cutting board, using some pressure. This helps release the juices once you slice and juice the lime!)
- honey (Honey adds a perfect hint of sweetness)
If you want to get creative with it, feel free to add chopped herbs like fresh mint or basil.
How to Make Honey Lime Yogurt Dressing
Start by adding Greek yogurt and honey in a small bowl or mason jar. Zest and juice limes on top, then whisk until smooth. That’s it!
Now, you’re ready to drizzle and toss over your favorite salad or fruit!
What would this dressing pair well with?
Because this dressing is on the (slightly) sweeter side, it pairs especially well with fruit and fruit salads.
It would also be delicious as the dressing for a crunchy broccoli salad or coleslaw!
How to Store This Honey Lime Dressing
Store this dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to mix well before using, as the ingredients may separate while they sit in the fridge.
I’m obsessed with this simple, creamy dressing – and I hope you love it, too! Not only does it make a tasty salad dressing, but it’s also delicious mixed into oatmeal, drizzled over pancakes, and as a quick marinade for chicken. Enjoy!
