These simple creamy salad dressings are my go-to’s for transforming fresh salads into something incredibly delicious. Many of them are copycats of your store-bought favorites, like Caesar dressing or ranch dressing (though healthier when made at home). And if you’re dairy-free, I’ll share a few substitutions below!
I honestly don’t even remember the last time I bought a bottle of store-bought dressing. Ever since I started making them myself at home, I realized just how much fresher, cleaner, and more delicious they can be. Just take a peek at my entire list of salad dressings!
But for meals that need a bit more oomph, these creamy salad dressings are my absolute favorite. They’re obviously perfect for classic creamy salads like this Caesar salad or coleslaw. But don’t forget that they’re great drizzled on roasted vegetables or proteins like chicken. I loooove the lemon tahini dressing tossed with my roasted carrot and parsnip salad recipe in my Healthy Meal Prep cookbook!
If you’re dairy-free, some of these can be made with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative. You can find substitution tips within each recipe post below 😊.

Wondering how long you can store these for? Most of these creamy dressings will last up to one week in the fridge! That makes them the perfect ingredient to prep for the week and use for salads, side dishes, and more.
