Tips & Tricks

Looking for a tasty dressing? Here’s a few ideas to help you out: 1. Yogurt Dressing In a bowl, combine unsweetened plain yogurt with 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 pinch pepper. Mix well. If you like cilantro, stir in a handful of minced leaves. 2. Honey and Mustard Dressing In a bowl, combine 5–6 tablespoons olive oil with 1 pinch salt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Whisk briskly until thick and smooth. Use a hand mixer if this is easier for you.

If you have some cheese in the fridge, you can dice a little and sprinkle over the salad.
