Table scraps makes me think of salt and fat. That is not okay but you obviously know that. If you want to give your dog people treats, that is perfectly fine. I prefer an entirely people food diet for dogs over dog food as long as it is supplemented properly. Here are some dinner foods that I wouldn't hesitate to give a Yorkie in very small amounts. Anytime I say meat I mean cooked, not raw.

Chicken (as lean as possible)
Carrot
Green Beans
Squash
Potato (peeled and cooked)
Sweet Potato (peeled and cooke...very healthy)
Oatmeal
Rice
Egg
Turkey

There is plenty that they can have. Also, a little bit of salt shouldn't hurt anything as long as it is only given on occasion. I would personally avoid pork and ham since it is high in fat and I'm not comforable giving it to Yorkies. That is just my opinion though.
