Calculated with the values of the German food composition database BLS 4.0. Spoons are level, their weight comes from the USDA database, an egg counts as 50 g without shell. Seasonings to taste are not counted. Per 100 g refers to the weight of the ingredients before cooking.

## Good to know

- Shaken in a screw-top jar it is even quicker.
- In dressings most of the energy is in the oil. According to USDA a tablespoon of oil weighs 13.5 g, which for olive oil is a good 120 kcal.

**Storage:** In the fridge for 2 to 3 days, shake briefly before use.

## Rather buy it ready-made?

- Ready-made yoghurt dressings come in the chiller and in bottles. Many are built on oil even with yoghurt in the name. The nutrition table shows it.
- As a rule of thumb, look at the ingredients: if oil comes first, there is more oil than yoghurt.
