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.
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!
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’ve not used yogurt in my salad. This will certainly be an interesting alternative for me. Enjoy your weekend, dear!
Uhmmmm.. this dressing looks awesome!!
Looks so easy to make. I sometimes have yogurt leftover (normally everyone is tired of eating yogurt) so this recipe will be very handy!
Oooh what a quick and flavorful dressing Manu! I am going to have to remember this one!
Looks really delicious. Love the dressing.
I must make this. How long will it keep?
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. 🙂
That dressing sounds fabulous–I am so making it! 🙂
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.
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! 😉
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.
I just love that beautiful primrose colour of the dressing. This is definitely feel-good food at it’s best.
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.
