Summer barbecues and fresh salads call for something better than basic vinaigrette. This simple yogurt-based dressing, born from my kitchen experiments, delivers bright flavor and versatility—perfect for cucumbers, mixed veggies, rice, pasta salads, or your favorite combos.
1 natural yogurt
1-2 lemons (juice)
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, fresh lemon juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Drizzle over sliced cucumbers or your salad of choice. Enjoy immediately.
At just a fraction of the calories of cream dressings, this one tastes phenomenal and adapts easily—swap curry for turmeric, cumin, ginger, or any spice you love.

We make salads several times weekly in summer, often daily. Cream runs about €8/kg, but yogurt is just €2.5/kg (for weekly use).
Save at least €5/week, or €60 over summer. Smart, simple savings!
