Creamy Coconut Milk Salad Dressing
By Monica
makes 1-1/4 cups
This has a creamy blend of flavors-- a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk with a tang from the yogurt and vinegar. Use it to dress salad greens, drizzle over sliced tomatoes, or toss with cold pasta and veggies.

- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Use to dress salad greens, drizzle over sliced tomatoes, or toss with cold pasta and veggies. Garnish with additional chopped chives, if desired.
