Time 12h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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.
