When it comes to summer dining, salads have a big role to play. Whether you want plenty of fresh, crunchy salads on the side as you serve up a grill, or you’re looking to make a satisfying salad the main event, there are plenty of options and recipes to choose from. Rather than always reaching for the oil and vinegar to make your dressing, why not try this delicious yogurt-based dressing? It adds depth and flavor to salad leaves and greens, and pairs perfectly with creamy avocados, too.
Ingredients (to make 1 cup):
- 2 tablespoons of Greek style or natural yogurt
- Juice of 1 lemon

- 1 teaspoon of olive or sunflower oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions:
