Yesterday was greek yogurt heaven. Chobani was kind enough to send me some samples to experiment with. I will admit my recipes are not the most inventive, I just wanted to keep it simple and delicious. Over the weekend I tried to make a bit more of a creative dish, but to be honest I wasn’t happy with the way it looked (my fault). It did taste delicious though, stay tuned for one of my “failure” posts tomorrow.
For breakfast I started off with Blueberry Chobani and vanilla almond flax granola.
Yes, that is half of David Bowie's face in the background...
Pretty simple, yet simply delicious. Not much of a recipe to write, so pictures should suffice.
Now quickly moving on to dinner. I wanted to create something classic that could be used as a appetizer, side dish or even a entree. With that in mind, I made Lemon Garlic Yogurt Dressing & Dipping Sauce.
I first started by chopping one garlic clove and taking the juice of one lemon into a bowl of Chobani low fat plain yogurt.
I then added salt and pepper to taste and started to finely chop some baby bella’s.
Stir this mixture up and serve over a bed of lettuce and freshly cut baby bells.
Or you can even toss the dressing with some raw mushrooms and top with freshly ground pepper.
Also delish as a dip for crackers, pretzels or tortilla chips. I love how the lemon cuts through the top to give it a nice tang.
Danger was pretty excited about getting the last licks.
Mmmmmmm.
Chobani was gracious enough to provide a case of their yogurt to one lucky reader. All you have to do is comment on this post, and I will pick a random winner on Friday!

My name is Jason and I am 29 years old and live on a lake in PA. I purchased my first DSLR camera in February 2011, and I am learning the art of food photography. I started this site to document my fascination with cooking, photography and of course my German Shepherd, Danger.
Awww, look how obedient your pup looks!
I’ve become quite the yogurt fan lately, but I have yet to try Chobani. It looks divine.
My Pembroke Welsh Corgis *love* chobani! I guess it is a good thing I eat about three of them a day
Your dog is so cute! That dressing is also genius…will have to try
Chobani Blueberry with granola mixed in is my favorite breakfast! And I love your idea using the plain as a dressing, will definitely be borrowing that!
I love any flavor of Chobani yogurt with granola – crunchy, sweet, and delectable!
Cool! I love Greek yogurt!
Love Chobani! (And your pooch is super cute!)
Love, love, love Chobani with granola (or even plain) for breakfast! Haven’t tried the plain for a dressing base, but this recipe sounds as good as any to start!
I love Greek Yogurt! Yum!
I love Chobani so much. Thanks for all of your great ideas on how to make it even better!
Ooh I never thought to use greek yogurt in a dressing, although I’ve substituted it for just about everything else. Will have to try!

Our pup <3's Chobani too, every last drop!
Ooh I need to try you recipes. I love to put fruit Chobani in my steel cut oats in the morning so filling!
Chobani is fantastic, I’ve been experimenting with it and several recipes and it’s always a success!
Aw, your dog is adorable! I always let my puppy lick my near-empty chobani cups – he loves it
I hope I win your giveaway – I have been dying to try some of their new flavors!
Now I’m hungry! I love making “dips” with plain yogurt. I hadn’t thought to add chopped bellas before.
I have turned quite a few friends on to Chobani. I have not tried the lemon yet, and can just imagine it with grilled fruit this summer…ahh a girl can dream…
I LOVELOVELOVE chobani with cereal or granola! Too bad we don’t get it here in Canada .. i’m waiting for it though!
I love chobani and would love to win the case of assorted flavors. Our store only has a few flavors!
Btw, you take lovely food pics!
The dip recipe looks awesome. I am doing some experimenting with Chobani myself. It is a great base for all kinds of sauces and such. Danger is a lucky dog! My lab has cleaned out his fair share of Chobani cups.
I love Chobani! I cannot find it in any stores in the small college town that I live in, so I can only get it when I visit my hometown. A sample package would be wonderful!
Chobani is great! I would love to try out some recipes with it, although eating straight from the container is good too
yum! that looks amazing
I love Chobani yogurt. Especially liking the things we can do to the plain yogurt… and the added benefit is that its so good for us too!
Isn’t Chobani just the greatest? It’s super versatile AND healthy. What more could you ask for?
I never thought of using Chobani for a dressing like that. I am in LOVE with Chobani and will definitely be trying this recipe out ASAP! Thanks!

I don’t know if I am too late but just saw your blog on Chobani. Your dip/dressing looks good, I hope to try it in the near future.
That sounds super-yummy! And you made it look great with the photos too; will have to make this tonight to serve on spinach salad with chargrilled wings!
Mmmm chargrilled wings.
My German Shepherd loves Chobani! My favorite is Blueberry but My German Shep loves the honey! Yum yum!!
Fortunately Danger isn’t picky. He would probably eat pine flavored Cho if I gave it to him.
Wow, that looks amazing! Simple, fresh ingredients. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Can’t wait to try it!
I recently discovered Chobani yogurt and gave it a try. Now I love it more than chocolate.
That is a bold statement!
I recently discovered Chobani and well apparaently so did everyone else in my small town, our local foodstore has a heck of a time keeping this stuff stocked…yesterday I picked up the last 7 pineapple and the cashier begged me for a few of mine…I gave her 3 and told her to tell Marty (the manager) to have more in by the weekend
….this stuff is flying off the shelves and I know why…it is amazingly delish, not like any other yogurt I have ever had !! ｡★｡•*¨*•¸ ★
I’ve just recently tried Chobani and have become a huge fan and addict. I lvoe it. My latest discovery is pineapple. It is delicious. I’m hooked.
Danger sure looks like he’s enjoying it, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Chobani IS amazing! Enjoyed your blog and the pictures to go along with it. I have recently lost 119 lbs and Chobani greek yogurt has been a daily part of my life for at least the last 6 months! I am always looking for recipes for salad dressings, potato toppers, omelet fillings, etc. Thanks for your recipes. P.S. Danger is a very handsome dog!!
Beautiful puppy!! I love your post..
I saw Chobani was on sale and I drove a few extra miles to go buy some! I love Chobani!
I’m hooked on Chobani! It’s perfect for mixing with granola in the morning, just like you did!
