NOTES : Ive just copied this recipe from a library book of Greek recipes (see which calls for "3 cups yogurt," then changed that ingredient to "3 cups plain lowfat yogurt."

I think I will make this for tonight, but I will substitute minced green onions since I have no fresh chives in stock, only dried chives. I dont ever use garlic salt, so I will probably just mince a small fresh clove of garlic.

I wont be including garlic bread. But I must mention that on a recent dinner at a restaurant, the waiter brought sliced warm Italian (or French?)

bread, with small pots of butter and a whole roasted head of garlic. My husband mixed the resulting garlic puree with butter to spread on the bread and said it was good but sweeter than regular garlic bread.
