Minted Greek Yogurt

Minted Greek Yogurt

Years ago, when I was trying to figure out a nice light fruit dip for a party, I came up with this minted yogurt; this was before Greek yogurt became readily available. The Greek yogurt makes it even better. 

It’s the perfect, simple topping for fruit or mixed with fruit and fresh granola for breakfast. It’s awesome as a dressing on a salad of mixed greens, candied pecans and dried cranberries for lunch. I’ve even used it as a substitute for whipped crème, crème fraîche and Chantilly crème on desserts…heck it’s breakfast, lunch and dessert all rolled into one simple mixture.

Yes, simple. Four little ingredients. That’s all. Four.

Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

I started cooking when I was ten years old. For me, the process of cooking, from inception of a dish, to the execution, to the washing of the pots is sheer delight. I am now retired from a business I still own, in partnership with my husband. I used to work six days a week and still cook every night. Now, I'm gardening, still cooking, always having fun and hoping to share my joy with you. Thank you for reading...and commenting! P~
