My friend Rebecca told me about a dressing she recently enjoyed featuring two of my favorite taste sensations: blue cheese and greek yogurt.
Now Rebecca must be a very confident cook because when she sent me the "recipe", it consisted simply of five ingredients: low fat plain greek yogurt, blue cheese, red wine vinegar, finely sliced scallions and sugar, and basically no instruction.
I am not such a confident cook, so I measure everything (or almost). I used:
7 oz low fat plain greek yogurt
6 oz blue cheese (I love blue cheese, this amount could be too much for some palates)
2 T red wine vinegar (plus more to try to thin it out)
1 t sugar
2 finely sliced scallions.
You just mix it all up. It is so thick, I kept adding vinegar, but it would not thin out. This is definitely a spooning dressing, not a pouring one. I think it works better with heartier greens rather than fine ones. It could also be used as a vegetable dip, in fact my friend, Carol, thought it was better that way than as a salad dressing.
But the richness of these two flavors, the yogurt and the cheese, is just delicious.
