Introduction
I serve this on a bed of greens for a filling lunch course. I use a bottled sauce to plain yogurt as part of the dressing (Trader Joe's lemon dill sauce) because that makes it a bit faster and easier. It would be easy to mix your own yogurt dressing, though, using mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper, garlic powder, etc. (and honey or sugar)The European style yogurt is creamy and smooth, and is more liquid than regular yogurt-- about the consistency of a thick dressing. If you only have the thicker kind of yogurt, add lemon juice or vinegar (or water) to get a similar "pourable" consistency. I serve this on a bed of greens for a filling lunch course.
