Low-Fat Greek Balsamic Dressing

Summer is finally here in Amsterdam. When its hot out, I always feel like crunchy, crisp, cool foods - like salads!

On the Dukan diet, most dressings are off limits as they contain loads of oil, salts and fats.

Here is a deliciously simple low fat and high flavour recipe I hope you enjoy as much as I do!


What You'll Need (14 x 1Tbps servings):

• 1 medium-sized bowl
• hand blender
• jar with lid
• 2 Tbps low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1.5 Tbsp of your favourite Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbps honey or honey-substitute (I use a xylitol-based substitute)
• 3 Tbps of non-fat Greek yogurt (thicker and creamier the better)
• If you are not on the Dukan diet, you can also add in 1 tsp of grapeseed oil (or olive oil). This will just make the dressing a little smoother

What You'll Do:

• in your medium-sized bowl, add in all the ingredients
• blend with a hand-mixer until smooth
• store in a jar or some sort of sealed container
• keep in your fridge until ready to serve. This dressing keeps for about one week in the fridge.

This dressing also works as a nice dip for raw veggies. To make it thicker, double the amount of Greek yogurt.

I love this dressing with watermelon - there is something so delicious about balsamic and watermelon. One of my favourite, pre-Dukan diet salads recipes had the following ingredients:

Cubed watermelon
Spinach
Basil
Red onion
Candied walnuts
My Greek balsamic dressing

Let me know what you try with this dressing - would love new ideas and flavour combos!
