Shopping List

Staples Used

  • 1/2 cup nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp granulated toasted onion powder
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • several serious shakes of chipotle Cholula
  • 1 Tbl or so of water

Recipe

Mix all ingredients. Maybe add a little more water if needed, to correct the texture.

Notes

Ridiculously easy (moreso than a conventional vinaigrette), and quite healthy: maybe 20 calories per serving, and no fat.
Closely adapted from the linked webpage, with a few tweaks. We found that using chipotle powder resulted in a somewhat harsh flavor and a slightly gritty texture; Cholula is pretty much ideal. I don't routinely have Dill in the house, and don't care, so we omit it.
Lots of variations to try:
  • Italian flavors -- slightly less garlic, classic herbs
  • Indian -- toss in the curry or garam masala
  • Mexican -- lime juice instead of lemon, and a spoonful of cilantro
  • What would happen with a bit of truffle oil? Would that work?
