Greek yogurt has been on my grocery list for years. Its versatility never ceases to amaze me: I use it for quick breakfasts with granola and fruit or in smoothies as a zesty base for baked goods in creamy marinades for chicken or fish and as the star ingredient in herb salad dressings. It’s a staple that’s earned its place in my fridge and I’m not the only one who appreciates this protein-packed dairy wonder.

With its thick creamy texture and slightly tart flavor Greek yogurt has been enjoyed in Greece and the Middle East for centuries. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that it became popular in the United States. I remember the first time I tried Greek yogurt I was apprehensive. I had heard about its unique texture and wasn’t sure if it would suit my taste. But one spoonful and I was sold. It was so much thicker and creamier than the regular yogurt I was used to with a surprising and satisfying tanginess.
