This easy creamy herb dressing made with Greek yogurt is healthy yet so delicious you’ll want to slather it on everything!
You know those iceberg wedges on restaurant menus served with blue cheese and crumbled bacon? They haunt me.
I’ve literally wanted to order one for decades and just never have.
Iceberg is some pointless ass lettuce. I mean, why can’t they just do that exact same thing with a lettuce that actually tastes like something (not to mention, has some nutritional value) instead of the water logged nothingness that is iceberg?
I’ve been on a bit of carb bender the past couple weeks.
It was crazy delicious and worth every bite but when I got my ass handed to me on a 100 thruster wod with 3 burpees every minute on the minute until you finished the other day, I realized it’s time to snap back into that thing called moderation when it comes to pasta, bagels, donuts, ice cream, pie, cookies and bread (seriously, that has been my diet lately- just look at instagram if you don’t believe me).
So I made my own version of the famous lettuce wedge.
Crispy romaine, creamy Greek yogurt and fresh herbs.
Had we not run out of bacon the morning I made this, it would’ve been on there too.
Thank god bacon isn’t a carb.
What a sad thing that would be.

Made this last night and everyone LOVED it they all kept asking where I bought it they did believe that I could of possibly had made it (which was kind of an insult now that I think about it haa) but I told them you can find delicious recipes on a thing called the internet ha. So I gave my aunt the recipe for it and she took it to her church meetings and they all also fell in love with it. So all in all thanks for a delicious dressing recipe we will sure keep for time to come! :)
Yay! glad everyone liked it :)
I eat salad so often, I look for new salad dressing recipes every day. This one’s a total winner! I love getting a little extra protein…even in my salad.
I HATE iceberg lettuce! Everyone always looks at me weird when my salad bowls are empty except for the iceberg pieces. It’s just crunchy water! So I’m glad someone else understands this and it’s not just me, haha. Anyway – this dressing sounds so good and refreshing! Love that Greek yogurt in it!
I love how simple and fresh this herb dressing is! And using Greek yogurt instead of mayo is always a winner!
I swear, my “Dinner Must-Haves” pinterest board is at least 85% your recipes. And now we’ll just add another one ;)
haha, thanks Heather :)
I’ve risen from the blog grave! I feel like I haven’t given love to my favorite blogs in ohhh…2+ months? Regardless, I’m glad I’m back. I am all about dressings that use greek yogurt. I know the whole Greek yogurt is a “Fad” or “trend” to most (considering this week’s Top Chef quickfire challenge!), but I love it. It’s such a great alternative to sour cream, cream cheese or just plain ‘ol cream or mayonnaise!
hey girl, welcome back! It HAS been awhile! :)
