YOGURT AND BEAN DRESSING WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Yogurt and Bean Dressing With Cilantro and Lime image

One of my favorite variations on Lisa Feldman's bean and yogurt dressing base is her cilantro-lime dressing. Blend cilantro into just about any dressing, purée, sauce or soup, and I'll be there with a spoon. I use a little more cilantro and lime juice than Lisa calls for, to achieve a pale speckled-green mixture that is slightly zingy; add a small green chile if you want a bit more spice.

SALAD WITH BEETS AND YOGURT DRESSING

Salad with Beets and Yogurt Dressing image

Greek yogurt is thicker, creamier, and higher in protein than regular yogurt, so it makes a deliciously creamy dressing with a tang that pairs nicely with beets.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3/4 pound beets (2 large or 8 small), trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1 head, Boston lettuce
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon
1/2 cup unsalted pistachios, toasted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets in a 12-inch square piece of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper; fold foil into a packet. Roast until beets are easily pierced with a paring knife, 30 to 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and cut into wedges.
Whisk together yogurt, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil; season dressing with salt and pepper. Thin as desired with 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Divide lettuce among plates and top with beets, tarragon, pistachios, and dressing. Serve immediately.

Tips:

For a creamier dressing, use full-fat yogurt. If you prefer a tangier dressing, use low-fat or nonfat yogurt.
If you don't have white miso paste, you can substitute regular miso paste. Just be sure to use half the amount, as regular miso paste is saltier.
Feel free to add other herbs and spices to the dressing, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper.
To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This dressing is also great as a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu.

Conclusion:

This bean and yogurt Caesar salad dressing is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional Caesar dressing. It's made with simple, wholesome ingredients and is packed with flavor. Whether you're using it as a dressing for salad, a marinade for chicken, or a dip for vegetables, this dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
