Why I Love This Recipe

We all know I feel very strongly about dressings, vinaigrettes and sauces. It’s a MAJOR part of life in the WGC world. They can make or break a recipe. Add that extra oomph! And they are easy to make ahead on the weekend and store for quick and easy additions to weeknight meals! Looking for more easy weeknight meals? You have to try out my Garlic Butter Steak Bites...I mean come on!

This Loaded Steak Salad Bowl with Yogurt Green Goddess made with Stonyfield Organic Greek yogurt is SUMMER PERFECTION. It’s bright and green and flavorful and tangy and perfect on top of a loaded steak salad. Heck, you could just drizzle it over steak or chicken or salmon and it would be delish. Throw it on some cooked quinoa or farro or rice. Serve it alongside some veggies… you get the idea! It’s a multi-use sauce that you’ll be obsessed with. Here’s the other beautiful thing to this dressing - you can mix and match the herbs. The below recipe calls for cilantro and basil, but you could sub in chives, add a few springs of tarragon, use parsley instead of cilantro… you get the idea. A green goddess is a little bit of a catch all for dressings so feel free to get crazy! 

Here’s the deal - if you’re anything like me, you stock Stonyfield Organic Greek yogurt in the fridge at all times. We have it for breakfast with some honey and granola and fruit, we use it to make tzatziki on a weekly basis, bake with it etc etc. Their Greek Yogurt is just top notch. And when you add some fresh herbs to it alongside some acid, it’s a match made in heaven. So without further ado… let’s get to the recipe.

  1. Curious - Why doesn’t this steak have any salt in the marinade? Wasn’t sure if this was on purpose. I added some kosher salt. Just stuck in the fridge! Can’t wait to try!

  2. 5 stars
    I love this salad so much. It’s the best!! Having hard time finding fresh Basil right now. Do you think I could do parsley and cilantro instead of basil and cilantro for the dressing? Or any other suggestions?

  3. 5 stars
    Made this last night and just loved it- will be making this again. Can’t wait to try the dressing on other things! You sure make cooking fun

  4. 5 stars
    So so good! We made this last night for dinner and now I want to eat this dressing on everything! It was the perfect summer meal.

  5. Sounds amazing! Planning on making this for dinner this week. Would you happen to have a substitution for the greek yogurt? I love greek yogurt but my husband can't eat it. Thanks!

  6. It looks wonderful. There are two items I can’t eat. Basil and Cilantro. Is there a sub you would recommend? I was thinking radish leaves and chives or Italian parsley maybe? No? Thank you.
