Instructions

Drain the anchovies.

OR
Mash the anchovies, mustard and garlic in a bowl with a fork. Mix in the salad dressing base, lemon zest, Greek yoghurt and lemon juice.
After either method, season to taste with pepper. You probably will not need any salt.

Notes

Instead of 6 fillets of anchovies, you can use 1 tablespoon anchovy paste or 1 ½ tablespoon capers (rinsed.)
