Lacking a better name for this sauce, I call it my “everything” sauce because it seems to taste great with almost everything! I typically make it for my Spice-Rubbed Grilled Chicken, and I frequently use leftovers drizzled on steamed veggies, as a light, flavorful pasta sauce, or as a tasty alternative to mayonnaise.
Over the years, I have tweaked this sauce quite a few times. The latest addition is the Greek yogurt which gives the sauce a certain creaminess that is so satisfying yet quite light.
Leftovers will keep for about a week in the refrigerator and are marvelous on Round Two Pasta! ⇩⇩⇩
Everything Sauce
While this sauce is perfect when paired with Spice-Rubbed Grilled Chicken, let your imagination be the guide for any leftovers. We love it on pasta, green vegetables, tossed salads, and as a delicious option to mayonnaise. Initially, the sauce will appear thin but will thicken as it chills.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or 2% both work well)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
-
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
-
The sauce may be prepared in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature. The sauce will last at least a week stored in the refrigerator.

This looks tasty, but wonder if I could substitute sour cream for the yogurt?
I think that would be a great substitution, Sharon, and every bit as tasty!
This looks quite yummy and like Sarah ^ above^ I am also trying to make more of my own dressings. I will make this one for certain.
I am finding store bought to be either too sweet or too heavy for lighter salads..
I think you will enjoy it, Mary Lou, and I agree. Homemade dressings tend to taste lighter yet more flavorful than the pre-made versions.
Yes – definitely an everything sauce. If you want to add an interesting twist, add a half teaspoon of cumin. It takes you straight to India, and paired with the sweet honey and tart vinegar, it’s a very robust satisfying flavor. We use it as a coleslaw dressing, with or without the yogurt.
Thanks for the comment, Elizabeth, and I am so glad you enjoy this. I love the cumin twist and will most certainly try that! Cole slaw is a terrific idea, too!
