Ingredients


For the Yogurt and Blue Cheese Salad Dressing:


½ cup of plain Greek Yogurt
⅓ cup of Sour Cream
½ cup of Blue Cheese, crumbled
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of Shallots, minced
¼ cup of White Wine Vinegar
1 Green Onion, finely chopped
Salt & Black Pepper, to taste

For the Arugula Salad:

3 cups of Arugula, torn into bite-size pieces
4 strips of Bacon, cooked crisp in the oven, and chopped once cooled (you can access that recipe by clicking here)
⅓ cup of Blue Cheese, crumbled
1 small Tomato, chopped into ½-inch chunks
¼ cup of Red Onion, coarsely chopped
¼ cup of Carrot, shredded

Directions


To Prepare the Yogurt and Blue Cheese Salad Dressing:

 

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. 

 

Serving Suggestion:

 

It is a thicker dressing, and it is delicious.  We enjoy this dressing with this arugula salad, however it would be terrific on a steak salad as well.


To Prepare the Arugula Salad:


Toss all the salad ingredients along with some of the Yogurt and Blue Cheese Salad Dressing. 

 

Serving Suggestion:

 

You can also add some homemade, Salad Croutons for an added treat, and you can access that recipe by clicking that title.
