Using drained yogurt as the base for the salad dressing makes it taste rich and creamy. If you want a totally authentic taste, you can add a couple of minced anchovies to the dressing. Recipe courtesy of Cooking Light.
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
1 1/2 Tbs. water
1 1/2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, crushed and minced
1. Place the yogurt in a fine, cheesecloth-lined strainer and place over a bowl. Let drain for at least 1 hour. Using Greek yogurt will make this process go faster.
2. When yogurt has drained, mix with remaining ingredients and combine well. Store refrigerated for up to two weeks.
