    I do a cream cheese and chive salad dressing but normally with mayo - I think it would work well with yoghurt tho!
    its simply half and half cream cheese (you could use phily light if you want) and mayo (subsitute your yoghurt) mix well and add loads of snipped chives, season to taste (add well crushed garlic if you like) and thin to required consistency with milk.

    I love fruit in salad, I recommend that. almost every salad I make has Some fruit

    I also like a squeeze of orange as a dressing, it might work with yogurt?

    I love RAS al hanout ( a morrocan spice mix) with yoghurt on salad with a pitta and some chicken marinated in more yogurt and RAS al hanout. It ticks the creamy ness, spicy ness, warmth I want from an evening meal but the salad keeps it fresh and light, and using chick keeps it lean. Cucumber is a must IMO, and lots of lemon juice. No reason you could not add pomegranite for sweetness.

    The great thing about sugar is that once you cut it out - you don't miss it. I thought I was addicted to the stuff until I cut it out for three months, in anything - including mayonnaise! - and during that period I was only allowed 2 pieces of fruit a day and absolutely nothing else. That was 18 years ago. I've never gone back to eating as much as I did, I've never wanted to, and I've never missed it. I'm not overweight and I think a large part of that is due to the fact that I supressed my biological drive to consume as much fat and sugar as I could cram into my mouth by my mid 30s and I've kind of stuck to that regime ever since. I'd dearly love to lose about 8lbs but I don't think that's bad for a 56 year old.
    Better is good enough.
