Homemade Mint Salad Dressing is one of my favorite summer salad dressings. It is a no oil salad dressing, and that makes it a perfectly healthy, light, and low-fat salad dressing. Besides that, the mint in this homemade salad dressing will provide a breeze of freshness to any salad.
This easy and simple Mint Yogurt salad dressing is a delicious choice for any salad. No matter if you have a salad as a main or as a side salad. It will elevate the taste of the salad, and bring a dose of freshness to your meal. Choose your favorite lettuce, add some vegetables, drizzle no onion no garlic Mint Salad dressing, and enjoy!
Mint Salad Dressing is made with a few ingredients, and it is a flavorful choice for a gallbladder diet, or if you have problems with cholesterol. Besides that, it is made without onion and garlic, and a delicious option if you have a sensitive stomach or acid reflux.
Ingredients
- Plain yogurt – you can use low fat or Greek Yogurt. If you have problems with gallstones, I suggest using low fat yogurt. If you like thick salad dressings, then use Greek yogurt because it is thicker than low fat yogurt, and it will bring thickness and extra creaminess to the salad dressing. If you follow LOW FODMAP, use Greek yogurt.
- Dried mint – it provides a refreshing taste to the salad dressing
- Ground cloves – they support the minty taste by providing a slightly sweet note to the salad dressing
- Lemon juice – it provides a zesty flavor to the dressing, and it helps with digestion of the lettuce. If you don’t like lemon juice, you can substitute it with a splash of your favorite vinegar.
- Granulated sugar – it provides a gentile sweet note the the dressing, and it helps enchanting mint flavor.
- Salt – it enhances the flavors, and combines them all together.
Equipment

How to store Homemade Mint Salad Dressing?
Refrigerator
Store the no oil salad dressing in a mason jar for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Freezer
I do not recommend freezing the homemade salad dressing because it will lose its texture (it will become very grainy, and not smooth), and it will taste good.
