By combining these components, the formulation offers a novel plant-based alternative that aligns with the growing demand for nutritious, clean-label products free from animal-derived ingredients. Three formulations were developed: F1 without <em>S. platensis</em> (control), and F2 and F3 with 1 % and 2 % <em>S. platensis</em> biomass, respectively. The formulations were subjected to proximate composition, microbiological, and sensory analyses. During refrigerated storage, the formulations were evaluated for physicochemical characteristics, color, rheological properties and texture, <em>in vitro</em> digestion, antioxidant activity, and the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds. The salad dressing formulations presented a similar average lipid (8.84 %) and protein (4.86 %) contents, and can be considered to have a reduced lipid content. F1 had the highest carbohydrate content (13.07 %), and F3 had the highest ash content (2.29 %). When adding <em>S. platensis</em> biomass, the brightness decreased and there was a tendency to develop a green color during storage, while the rheological behavior and textural profile remained the same. Based on <em>in vitro</em> digestion, F3 stood out as a source of phenolic compounds, presenting a higher concentration in the intestinal phase (0.85 g gallic acid equivalents g<sup>−1</sup>). The bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds increased as the <em>S. platensis</em> biomass increased. For the sensory evaluation, most of the panelists expressed interest in consuming foods containing microalgae. <em>S. platensis</em> had no significant influence on the overall acceptance, color, and aroma, and the salad dressing formulations received high sensory acceptance scores.
