Creamy Salad Dressing

Blending equal parts fat free or low fat mayonnaise with drained non-fat yogurt is a terrific way to make a creamy yet low fat dressing for potato salad, pasta salad and sandwiches.

Gussy it up with herbs and spices to suit your taste. I like to add a little lime juice and cumin for a southwestern kick, or some curry powder for a taste of India.
