What is a salad dressing?
A salad dressing is usually a liquid seasoned mixture, which coats a salad. Generally speaking, a salad dressing has as a base vegetable oil, yogurt, vinegar, or mayonnaise and then it is seasoned with various species and flavors (garlic, lemon, fresh herbs).
A dressing can be made in larger quantities and then stored for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, in a jar with a lid. In most cases, it is better to add salad dressing to the salad just before the serving, especially if the salad contains salad greens. So the leaves will remain crispy and fresh.Â

How to make Lemon sauce with yogurt?
Prepare all the ingredients needed for this yogurt lemon sauce recipe. Start by grinding garlic. Garlic is often used in dressing and sauces recipes because it gives the dishes a unique flavor. Unfortunately, not everyone can serve it fresh. In this case, qualitative organic garlic powder is a good alternative.
So grind garlic with a pinch of salt until it has a paste-like consistency. Then add lemon juice, a pinch of lemon zest, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are emulsified. Then add the plain yogurt and finely chopped dill. As I already told I use plain Greek yogurt from a local manufacturer, with 3,5% fat. Season with some pepper to taste to give the sauce a little bit more richness and mix until evenly distributed.Â
