• 1 cup Plain Yogurt – I prefer Balkan style; Don’t skimp here – get higher fat, organic
• 2 tbsp Kefir – Or buttermilk; Did you know buttermilk is actually low in fat despite the name.
• Juice of 1/2 Lemon
• 1 tsp Mayonnaise – Use organic or homemade; I prefer Polish mayonnaise for taste.
• 1 tbsp Chives – Finely chopped; or green onions
• 1 tbsp Parsley – Freshly chopped
• 1 tbsp Dill – Freshly chopped
• 1 clove Garlic – Finely minced
• 1/4 tsp Mustard Powder – or 1/2 tsp wet mustard
• 1 dash Cayenne Pepper
• Freshly Cracked Black Pepper – To taste
• 1 pinch Sea Salt – To taste

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with a whisk or fork until completely mixed.
2. Taste test and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
3. Serve over salad, on baked potatoes or as a dip and Enjoy!

* Tip: If dressing is too tangy for you, add 1 tsp honey and mix through.

This is a healthy dressing for any salad. To make it lower in fat, you may use fat free mayonnaise or no mayonnaise at all.
