When siggi’s approached me to participate in their #mysiggischallenge this year, I couldn’t have been more excited!
A little backstory: when I lived in NYC, siggi’s was hands-down my favourite yogurt to enjoy. Sadly, they weren’t available in Canada when I moved back home. When I first saw them on the shelves at my local Whole Foods here in Vancouver, I couldn’t believe my eyes! To say I was happy was an understatement – it was a true dietitian/foodie moment haha.
Anyway, back to the challenge! siggi’s has selected a handful of Canadian foodies and registered dietitians to use their Icelandic-style skyr yogurt in a creative, out-of-the-box way. Because siggi’s is made with simple ingredients, the challenge recipes must also be simple and easy to make.
My entry for the #mysiggischallenge? This homemade yogurt salad dressing! It’s ready in under 10 minutes and uses a handful of easy-to-find ingredients.
This creamy yogurt salad dressing tastes delicious, is high in protein, and has much simpler ingredients than most store-bought versions. I hope you love this one as much as I do!

What Is Skyr (Icelandic Yogurt)?
Skyr is traditional Icelandic-style yogurt that has been made for over 1000 years!
Skyr is made by incubating skim milk with live active cultures, then straining away the watery whey component to make a much thicker, creamier, and more concentrated yogurt.
Because about 75% of the water is removed to make skyr, the process uses much more milk compared to regular yogurt! This results in about 2-3 times the amount of protein.
While similar to greek yogurt, I find skyr to be slightly less sour/tangy and more dense and rich in texture.
siggi’s Yogurt Ingredients
Aside from the delicious taste of their yogurts, one thing I absolutely LOVE about siggi’s is their commitment to using nutritious, healthy ingredients.
siggi’s yogurt is made with simple ingredients, 100% Canadian milk, and is naturally high in protein. Their flavoured options are made with real fruit and have at least 25% less sugar than the leading vanilla and fruit yogurts in Canada!
siggi’s products don’t contain any preservatives, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavours, or artificial colours. All of these facts make the dietitian in me super happy :).

I **love** this recipe! I am on a journey to eat more whole foods and this dressing is a game changer. With the protein and low sugar of the Siggs yoghurt, it allows me have a green salad for lunch or dinner and feel fully satisfied. I doubt I will buy dressing from the grocery store again!
