Recipe
Aug 17, 2026
 

Turn any salad into a probiotic powerhouse with this creamy, tangy dressing.

Yield: 2 servings

 ½ cup kefir cheese (see below)

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

2 Tbsp kombucha or apple cider vinegar

2 Tbsp apple juice

½ Tbsp honey 

To make kefir cheese, strain 2 cups of kefir through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag over a bowl. Let it strain in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours until thickened, then transfer the cheese to a container and store for up to three weeks. The liquid whey can be saved for smoothies, soups or fermenting.

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
