Fruit Yogurt Dressing

Two ingredients. Fold mayonnaise into fruit-flavored yogurt and serve chilled. That’s the whole recipe, and it works beautifully as a creamy, tangy dressing for fruit salads.

The mayonnaise adds body and richness that yogurt alone doesn’t have, while the fruit yogurt brings sweetness, tang, and a fruity flavor that matches whatever fruit you’re dressing. Strawberry yogurt over a berry salad, peach yogurt over stone fruit, or vanilla yogurt as a universal option.

Fold gently rather than stirring vigorously. You want the two to combine smoothly without breaking down the yogurt’s creamy texture into a thin, runny consistency.

Chef Tips

• Use full-fat yogurt and real mayonnaise for the richest, creamiest result. Low-fat versions work but taste thinner.
• Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors meld and the dressing thickens slightly in the fridge.
• Match the yogurt flavor to the fruit in your salad for a more cohesive flavor profile.

Variations

• Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra brightness.
• Stir in a tablespoon of honey for more sweetness.
• Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, tangier dressing with more protein.
