Healthy Dressings & Seasonings (5 Simple Recipes)

1. CREAMY CUCUMBER DRESSING

You can add some delicious, low-fat creamy dressing to wraps or drizzle it over salads. Instead of going for pre- packed options, always use fat-free natural yogurt. This homemade dressing will be much lower in saturated fat than anything you’d find at the store.

INGREDIENTS:

• 125g of fat-free yoghurt
• 1⁄2 cucumber, chopped roughly
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 clove of garlic
• Freshly grounded pepper (to taste)

Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and store it in the fridge. If you don’t have a processor or blender at home, then you can simply chop the cucumber finely and mix the ingredients together for a chunkier dressing or dip.

2. THE CLASSIC LEMON & OLIVE OIL DRESSING

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• Black pepper to taste

Whisk the ingredients together. Add pepper to taste and store in the fridge. If you want to make the consistency thinner, you can also add a teaspoon of water.

INGREDIENTS:

• Squeezed juice of 1 lime

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil

• 1 deseeded red chili, finely chopped

Mix all the ingredients together and store in the fridge.
