How to Make Apricot Curry Dressing

  1. Finely mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a shaker or bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or sour cream for a richer dressing), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons water (or more, to reach desired consistency).
  4. If using a shaker, shake well; otherwise, whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are combined.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
