I love creamy dressings but unfortunately most of my favorites are packed with fat and calories. I have been experimenting lately with yogurt based creamy dressing and finally found a combination that still tasted just like the real thing but at a much lower points level. In this recipe I used Gorgonzola cheese but you could easily substitute blue cheese or really any pungent semi-soft cheese.
