Herbed Lime Cilantro Chipotle Yogurt Salad Dressing ~ an easy, fabulous, and super healthy homemade dressing from Sumptuous Spoonfuls

This was the dressing I made for my Chipotle Fish Taco Salad … it was sooo good, I found myself using it on all sorts of salads and things, using it as a dip, but mostly enjoying it on all my salads.


This dressing taught me a magical secret about olive oil, milk and Greek yogurt: when mixed together, they create a wonderfully creamy spread that’s almost like mayonnaise, so you can skip all the extra calories that mayonnaise adds to things and just use these naturally healthy ingredients to create fabulous dressings and dips. My mind is spinning with all the possibilities …

But first, let’s revel in the flavors of fresh herbs, cumin, cilantro, smoky chipotle and tangy lime!
