    Turned out a bit thick for me, but it was a simple dressing. I added a bit of lemon juice.

    I did not love this. There wasn't enough acidity to make it work. It was too creamy with too little flavor.

    Loved this simple lettuce salad with yogurt dressing. I used a whole milk yogurt (not Greek), and just a pinch of additional sugar.

    I was excited to make this as it's my favorite salad from Germany. I used lactose-free 2% Greek yogurt, which needed more thinning (I used milk rather than more cream). Maybe due to the yogurt I used, the dressing was too sweet and I ended up adding lemon juice. Next time I'd start with half the sugar. Otherwise quite enjoyable. Half the dressing was enough for a medium head of butter lettuce.
