Say hello to my favorite BLT salad with the best sun-dried tomato dressing! This is what Summer lunch dreams are made of!!

If you’re looking to jazz up your salads without loading up on processed dressings or sauces, this Healthy Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing is about to become your go-to. It’s tangy, savory, and packed with Mediterranean flavor — all while being full of good-for-you ingredients and mayo-free for my fellow mayo haters!

Sun-dried tomatoes bring a rich umami kick, while tangy Greek yogurt and red wine vinegar, garlic, parmesan, and olive oil tie it all together. Whether you’re drizzling it over a crisp green salad or using it as a spread on wraps or sandwiches, this dressing adds a delicious boost of flavor with simple ingredients.

What You’ll Need

  • Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
  • Greek yogurt
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Honey
  • Dijon mustard
  • Salt & pepper

Unlike many store-bought dressings loaded with preservatives and added unnecessary ingredients, this recipe is simple and nourishing. Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, especially lycopene, olive oil adds healthy fats that support heart health, and the Greek yogurt adds a protein boost.

How to Use It

  • Drizzle over mixed greens or grain bowls
  • Toss with roasted veggies
  • Use as a sandwich spread or wrap sauce
  • Stir into cooked quinoa or couscous for a quick flavor boost
  • Serve alongside grilled chicken

To make the BLT salad shown here, I just use butter lettuce, crispy bacon, tomatoes, croutons, avocado, parmesan, and thinly shaved turkey (chicken would be great, too)!

Ready to elevate your salads? Whip up a jar of this sun-dried tomato dressing and keep it on hand for the week. I know you guys will love this one as much as I do!
