Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Yogurt
One of my favorites! Top a cooked sweet potato with plain, greek yogurt and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Mexican Salad
Top a bed of greens with black beans, tomatoes, hot peppers, and lean protein. Stir a splash of lemon juice into a 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. Place the yogurt on top of the salad in place of your typical sour cream.
Wild Salmon with Dilled Yogurt
Mix fresh dill and with plain Greek yogurt and place on top of grilled or broiled salmon.
