Greek Yoghurt is a delicious dairy product which is full of protein and the goodness of probiotics. It is a great alternative to heavy or buttery sauces for fish, especially in the summer months. We love this simple dressing which is the perfect accompaniment to a lovely piece of salmon either hot smoked or grilled. It is also delectable drizzled over a beautiful salmon salad. The below salad is an easy one to prepare and looks like you went to tremendous effort. The elements can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. In this example a simple salad of salmon and potatoes comes alive with the creamiest Olympus Greek Yoghurt dressing. If you don’t have hot smoked salmon, a piece of fresh salmon will work just as well. Perfect for a special meal on a hot summer night, or a lovely addition to your barbeque repertoire.
