MIXED SALAD WITH YOGHURT AND SAFFRON DRESSING

November 16, 2011 By Manu 16 Comments

Mixed Salad with Yoghurt and Saffron Dressing

This recipe will help you to spice up your salad with a low fat and delicious dressing.  Yes, you read that right… low fat and delicious were used in the same sentence!  It is low fat as it is a yoghurt based dressing and it is delicious thanks to the addition of saffron and curry powder.  Try it the next time you make a salad!

 

Recipe adapted from the book “Zafferano, Piacere e Benessere – 3”

Ingredients:
200 ml yoghurt
½ sachet of saffron powder or 1 pinch of saffron threads
1 pinch curry powder
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Salad

Melt the saffron powder or threads in 1 tbsp of warm extra virgin olive oil.  Set aside to release its colour and cool down.

In a bowl, mix yoghurt, curry powder, salt, extra virgin olive oil and saffron until well combined.

Serve with your favourite salad.

    Sounds like a wonderful ressing, and I love how simple it is to make 🙂 I don’t use saffron enough, considering how much I love it.

    I just love that beautiful primrose colour of the dressing. This is definitely feel-good food at it’s best.

    A dressing with saffron and curry does sound like it would be amazing. The dressings I have, once you really review the ingredients, don’t really have that much spice. Your recipe would be a nice change of pace. Thanks for sharing Manuela.

    This dressing looks fantastic. Can I make it with low fat yogurt? I guess we can, right?

      Sure Nydia! I often make it with low fat yogurt… it depends on what I have at hand! 😉

    What a great idea to dress up a light, healthy salad. I personally love salad, but this would even make it interesting for those who don’t.

      HI Sandra… I have never stored this dressing… it just takes 5 minutes to make, so I usually whip it up on the spot and we finish it all… it’s too good. 😉 But I would guess it should be fine for 2 or 3 days in the fridge… in the end it is just yoghurt, oil and spices. 🙂

    Looks so easy to make. I sometimes have yogurt leftover (normally everyone is tired of eating yogurt) so this recipe will be very handy!

    I’ve not used yogurt in my salad. This will certainly be an interesting alternative for me. Enjoy your weekend, dear!

    How did I miss this? Yogurt and saffron. I love adding yogurt dressing to my salad but never thought of saffron. Now I will.

    I got saffron for Christmas (yes, last year) and STILL have not used it all… This dressing seems like a great way to let the flavor of the saffron shine!
