Make Potato Salad with Yogourt Dressing: toss together 6 cups (1.5 L) for cooked, cooled and cubed red potatoes, 3 chopped hard-boiled eggs, 1 bunch green onions chopped, ½ red bell pepper chopped, 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon and Yogourt Salad Dressing. Add more dressing as necessary to completely coat all of the salad. If you make the salad in advance, you may want to add a bit more dressing just before serving to freshen it up.
Use as a marinade for chicken.
Use as a sauce over grilled vegetables. Do not heat dressing, simply spoon over vegetables and serve.
Replace Astro Original Balkan Style Plain yogourt with drained yogourt for a thicker, creamier dressing. Place 2 cups (500 mL) of yogourt in a coffee filter or cheesecloth-lined strainer. Let stand over a bowl for about 2 hours. Discard accumulated liquid. Measure required drained yogourt. Any remaining drained yogourt can be kept covered and refrigerated for up to one week.
