For 2-4 portions of salad: 1 cucumber, or 150g leafy salad greens e.g. Frisee or Chinakohl (I'm not entirely sure of the translations and can't look them up, but Chinakohl is sort of like a big chicoree and frisee is basically fuzzy lettuce)

Preparation: empty the contents of the bag into a salad bowl, mix with 1 tbsp of water (3 tbsp for leafy salads) and 3 tbsp of oil. No added vinegar necessary. Drain prepared ingredients thoroughly and mix with the salad dressing.

Hint: Dill-herb dressing also turns out perfectly using 4 tbsp of yoghurt, sweet cream or sour cream instead of oil. 

this part may be what you are looking fpor. Note that German 'sweet cream' (suesse Sahne)is the consistency of whipping cream, no heavier, and German 'sour cream' (saure Sahne) is unseasoned and has the consistency of yoghurt while being richer and heavier. A good fuill-fat yoghurt is probably the best substitutes as most German yoghurts tend to be watery and light.

 I'm travelling ATM, but if you remind me Wednesday I'll have access to my cookbooks again and can dig out a salad dressing recipe for you. The Dr Oetker's school cookery book is bound to have the yoghurt cucumber salad in it.
