½ tsp salt 2.5 mL
1 tsp dried oregano leaves 5 mL

ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Use as a dressing for your favourite garden salad.
  • Toss with crisp romaine lettuce and wedges of summer-fresh tomatoes.
  • Use as a dip for vegetables or chicken wings.
  • Replace Astro Original Balkan Style Plain yogourt for any other Astro Plain yogourt. Using a lower fat yogourt will result in a thinner dressing.
  • Replace Astro Original Balkan Style Plain yogourt with drained Astro yogourt for a thicker, creamer dressing that could double as a dip for vegetables or chicken wings.
  • Add ¼ tsp (1.2 mL) of cayenne pepper for a zesty blue cheese dressing.
