Yogurt is a flexible food and is excellent for dips and toppings. It can also be used as a substitute for many high-fat foods. Use yogurt in place of mayonnaise. Combining equal amounts of low calorie mayonnaise and low fat yogurt works well for many dishes such as potato salad, coleslaw, pasta salad, tuna salad, dips and appetizers. Plain yogurt can often be substituted for milk, buttermilk or sour cream in recipes such as waffles, pancakes and muffins. Yogurt shakes and smoothies are a low fat alternative to ice cream.
Ingredients
200 g plain yogurt
1 tbls shredded mint
¼ lemon, zest
Method
Place ingredients in a bowl and mix. Store covered in the refrigerator.
Note: A smooth chilled yogurt dip is an ideal complement to a hot or spicy dish. Variations of yogurt dips are only limited by your imagination in the use of fresh herbs and spices.
