This made a nice, tangy salad dressing that is guilt-free! I used Greek yogurt, which did not require the draining period, so it really was a quick process. After blending together, I let sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld. The amount was just perfect for a salad for 4. Thanks for sharing!
