Our Big Fat Greek Yogurt Recipe Roundup: 15 Outstanding Recipes
So it’s been weeks since your Olympic party, but after all the medals were handed out you realized you forgot something. What was it? A food from the land of the OG Olympians, perhaps? Well, we have you covered with these 15 winning Greek yogurt recipes. Pro tip: They’re all better enjoyed while wearing a DIY laurel wreath (but what isn’t, really?).
1. Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins: Not your ordinary blueberry muffin, these are packed with whole grains, fruit and yogurt. In other words: they are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. (via Ellaphant Eats)
2. Southwestern Chopped Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing: Creamy yogurt and cilantro dressing is the ideal drizzle for a flavor-packed salad. (via Damn Delicious)
3. Bacon Chive Dip and Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip: Get this. Each of these tasty dips is made with only five ingredients! And, yes, one of them = Greek yog’. (via Brit + Co.)
4. Mango Lassi Popsicles: Mmmm, we love a good mango lassi. Transforming one into a popsicle is a great way to have it on hand when the mood strikes. (via Shutter Bean)
5. Greek Yogurt Biscuits: Greek yogurt stands in for the usual buttermilk in these flaky biscuits. (via Two Peas and Their Pod)
6. Greek Yogurt Cheesecake With Pomegranate Syrup: This creamy, lightened-up cheesecake requires no baking whatsoever. You know we like that! (via Bon Appétit)

8. Grilled Fish Tacos With Creamy Chipotle Sauce: Yogurt tempers the heat of chipotle peppers in a creamy sauce for tasty tacos. (via Saveur)
9. Bacon and Pea Macaroni and Cheese: Non-fat Greek yogurt lightens up the cheese sauce, but don’t worry. The addition of bacon means it won’t taste light at all. (via Confections of a Foodie Bride)
10. Loaded Greek Salad With Tzatziki Dressing: We couldn’t have a Greek yogurt roundup without at least one recipe for tzatziki. This version in dressing form may not be the most authentic, but when enjoyed atop a Greek salad with pita-chip croutons, no one will notice. (via Virtually Homemade)
11. Lemon Yogurt Mini Bundt Cakes With Limoncello Glaze: Who doesn’t love a mini dessert, especially one topped with a boozy glaze? (via Jane’s Sweets and Baking Journal)

13. Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Sandwich: All of the tasty elements in this chicken salad lead us to believe that if you skipped the bread, the carbs wouldn’t be missed at all. (via Damn Delicious)
14. Baked Avocado Fries With Cilantro Lemon Dipping Sauce: Avocado fries are a treat. Take things to the next level by serving them with a tangy, cool dipping sauce. (via Chobani)
15. Twice Baked Greek Yogurt Sweet Potatoes: The sweetness of the potatoes is balanced by the tang of yogurt and brininess of Kalamata olives. Whip up a batch ahead of time and reheat them as needed. Twice baked FTW! (via Little Gems Kitchen)
