Healthy, oil-free, gluten-free dressing that works well with salads, tacos, buddha bowls, and vegetable sides!

I’ve made a few dressings before such as Pomegranate Vinaigrette and Smoky Tahini. Since the start of the fall, I wanted to make a cozy dressing that can not only go well with salads but with other autumnal dishes.

After a few tries, this dressing was born. It’s creamy, subtly sweet, and a little bit tangy. All you need is six ingredients and 5 minutes.

Choosing the right yogurt

For this recipe to come outright, you’ll have to use a non-flavored, unsweetened, plain yogurt. If you can’t find unflavored yogurt, the next best kind is vanilla.

I used cashew yogurt in this recipe, which is my favorite. Almond and soy would work well too.

Coconut yogurt can work, but keep in mind that your dressing will have a coconut taste. As long as you don’t mind that, go for it!

 Adjusting flavors

I’ve made this Maple Yogurt Dressing twice after a little trial and error. The second time I made it, I wanted it to be a tad sweeter. So, I added an extra teaspoon of maple syrup.

Once you’ve made the dressing, taste it and adjust the recipe as necessary. Add more maple syrup for sweetness, mustard for tang, and salt to round up the flavors. Use a small amount at a time. Remember, you can always add more!

Meal pairings

This dressing pairs wonderfully with salads, tacos, grain bowls, side dishes such as roasted delicata squash, Brussel sprouts, or green beans.

It’s one of those dressing that you’ll want to have on hand as a staple in the fall.
