This recipe is similar to one that we enjoy at our favorite fast food salad place. We also use this as a dip for chicken nuggets. If dressing is too thick, thin it with a little milk.

Tips for Making Low-Fat Creamy Lime Dressing:

Use low-fat or fat-free sour cream and Greek yogurt to reduce the fat content without sacrificing flavor.
Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a bright, tangy flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
Honey or agave syrup can be used to sweeten the dressing without adding refined sugar. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can add more honey or agave syrup to taste.
To make the dressing thicker, add more Greek yogurt or sour cream. To make it thinner, add more lime juice or water.
Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as cilantro, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

This low-fat creamy lime dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, tacos, burritos, and grilled meats. It's also a great marinade for chicken, fish, and tofu. With its bright, tangy flavor and creamy texture, this dressing is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
