I didn't have much time late yesterday afternoon to search for a North African/Middle Eastern type yogurt-based salad dressing and came up with this rather quickly. No herbs other than mint were added and especially [no] spices so that the dressing flavors wouldn't collide with the flavors of the chicken: Moroccan Saffron Chicken. The amount of ingredients is estimated. Ingredients:
3/4 cup plain yogurt (no need to drain the yogurt) |
salt and white pepper, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water |
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh mint, finely minced (or about 1/2 teaspoon dried mint) |
half-and-half cream, to thin (or other similar liquid of choice but not water) |
Directions:
1. Important for best flavor that the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour but preferably three hours or longer.
2. Combine the dressing ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and whisk.
3. Thin to desired consistency with half and half or similar. I think I added about two tablespoons of half and half.
4. Taste and adjust *after* the dressing has refrigerated the required time.
5. Yield is estimated.
