*I am reposting this recipe I shared last January 15, 2009. Unfortunately, I lost my old file which included the picture. I shall edit this post once I find it or I make a new batch and take photos of it!

Due to requests of some dear friends, here is a “recipe” of the salad dressing I had for one of the Christmas dinners I hosted here at home:

**oh no! warning: i really do not know how much of each ingredient I used…so I guess for those of you who haven’t tried it, just pour and mix until you find a taste that’s to your liking? Basta it’s supposed to taste a little tangy yet light…

…oh wait, ok i’ll try to imagine the measurements…. here goes….

1 cup plain yogurt

2 tbsp garlic, super chopped

2-4 “strips” of anchovy fillets (as we all know, this is quite salty so you might want to try to go for 2 first)

2-3 tbsp lemon

mustard (this would really depend on how tangy you’d like your dressing to be)….i think i put in about 2 tsp. of this

honey (i see this as the “equalizer” of all the other ingredients)

* I suggest you “pound” the garlic and anchovy fillets together first before mixing in all the other ingredients

* oh, and it helps to base the amount of mustard to put it on the color of the dressing….it should be a very pale yellow

Now, what to toss in with this dressing?

romaine lettuce

shrimps (i marinate mine with the dressing before cooking it)

candied walnuts

caramelized onions

grapes/apples

garlic croutons

Here’s to my attempts at serving “healthy” food!
