Is this healthier than regular salad dressing?

I like yogurt-based dressings because they tend to be lower in calories and fat. That means we get to add more tasty toppings to salads like cheese, croutons, or nuts.

That said, “healthy” is totally subjective! This dressing is tasty and well-balanced, but a higher calorie option may work better for your goals.
