Summary

This dressing is not only made with whole foods that include fiber and essential nutrients, but it also has something that many dressings don’t have—probiotics! Plant-based yogurt substitutes for dairy to create a creamy dressing that is rich in live cultures and nutrients that your body needs to thrive and function at its best.
