- To make yoghurt dressing, stir yoghurt, mayonnaise, vermouth and lime juice until creamy. Season well with salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper.

cook's tip
In place of dry vermouth in the yoghurt dressing, use 1 teaspoon dry white wine or 1 teaspoon orange juice. Dry vermouth has a slightly "herby" taste and aroma.
