Cool and creamy: 5 meals featuring yoghurt to make this week

Summertime meals have never looked as dreamy. Whether you prefer light, plain yoghurt or the indulgent double-cream variety, using yoghurt in everyday dishes is a great way to add a little cool creaminess to weeknight meals.

When cooking with yoghurt, keep these tips in mind:
