Looking for a healthy dressing to spruce up your salads? Serving a veggie plate and need a yummy but healthy dip? Expert Chef Erin Dow walks you through her quick and easy three-star recipe that does double time as a dressing and dip.
Herbed Blue Cheese Dip
Blue cheese dip from a bottle is bad news as far as salt and saturated fat are concerned. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it from time to time: using a base of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt makes a world of difference to the nutritional impact.
Pro tip: Refrigerating the dressing for at least an hour is absolutely essential to give the flavors time to meld.
