Low-Calorie Creamy Dressing Perfectly Tosses Any Salad!

Imagine slices of dark Crimea tomatoes, finely chopped shallots and chives, crunchy croutons, and perfectly grilled halloumi… As you assemble a mixed salad, you suddenly feel like a true chef. Forget about cookbooks or recipes from the internet: like Rémy in Ratatouille, you craft your own mix of flavors and colors without worrying about measurements. But when it comes to dressing the salad, balancing seasoning, freshness, and lightness can be quite the challenge.

Luckily, our fairy godmother of the day, Mathilde Ratinaud, better known as @eatsmathilde on Instagram, has discovered the perfect magic sauce for this summer. Ready in just 2 minutes, it’s eager to accompany your favorite raw vegetables. Its lightness comes from having almost no fat content. No cream or vegetable oil: the base of this sauce is a blend of skyr (a fat-free yogurt) and mustard. Add to it some chopped capers and garlic, and you have a well-balanced dressing that combines smoothness with a touch of acidity.

To whip up this light and tangy sauce, you’ll need skyr (or cottage cheese), mustard, lemon, capers, and garlic. Here are the ingredients for one serving:

• 2 tbsp of plain skyr
• 1 tsp of Dijon mustard
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tbsp of lemon juice
• 1 tsp of capers
• Salt, pepper

1. Finely chop the capers and garlic clove.

2. In a bowl, mix the skyr, mustard, lemon juice, capers, and garlic using a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper.

This quick-to-make, light dressing will spice up all your summer salads. With its balanced flavors and reduced calorie content, this sauce is a must-have in your pantry. So, grab your aprons: 3, 2, 1… dress!
