Elevate your salads with this luscious, tangy Creamy Tomato Herb Salad Dressing, a perfect balance of bold tomato flavor and vibrant herbs. Made with rich Greek yogurt as a creamy base, this homemade dressing blends tomato paste, olive oil, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness, while dried basil and oregano infuse it with Mediterranean charm. A splash of white vinegar adds zest, complemented by a hint of garlic and onion for depth. Ready in just 5 minutes, this easy-to-make dressing is a healthier, flavor-packed alternative to store-bought options. Drizzle it over crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dip for an irresistible burst of fresh, herbaceous flavor.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste and plain Greek yogurt. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to create a creamy texture.
Add the white vinegar and honey, and continue to whisk until incorporated.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Thin the dressing by stirring in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
