   Hill and Barclay write: “This creamy, low-fat dressing
   lends itself to salad greens, cooked or raw vegetable
   combinations, pasta and grain salads, or as a dipping
   sauce for crudites or steamed artichoke leaves. It may
   be prepared with low-fat mayonnaise instead of yogurt
   for a richer flavor.”
