Time 12h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt or 1 cup nonfat yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Place a colander in a 2-quart glass bowl. Line colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth, allowing cheesecloth to extend over sides. Spoon yogurt into colander. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; refrigerate 12 hours.
  • Spoon drained yogurt into bowl; discard liquid. Add 1 1/2 T water, mustard, vinegar and garlic. Stir well.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, and lemon juice will make your dressing taste the best.
  • Don't over-process the dressing. Over-processing can make the dressing too thick and creamy. Just blend it until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing. Look for a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve the dressing immediately or store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
