Yogurt, Dill and Garlic Sauce

Yogurt, Dill and Garlic Sauce

Use this however you want to. It is a very versatile sauce low in calories and fat as well. Thinned out, it makes a great salad dressing. Thicker, it is a wonderful dipping sauce for veggies, or a sandwich spread. Last week’s recipe for Greek-style chicken tastes superb with this sauce. It is also complimentary to salmon and any other fish.

This sauce needs at least 12 hours to “rest” before serving it to absorb all of the flavors and allow the garlic to re-hydrate. As in all recipes posted, adjust the spice amount to taste. I always use a lot more herbs and garlic.

Ingredients:

6oz. plain, non-fat Greek yogurt

2tbsp. dried dill*

1tbsp. dried parsley*

2tsp. dried, chopped garlic (or to taste)

2 tsp. lemon juice, and zest of half, if you have it.

.5 tsp. salt

.5 tsp. pepper

* You can use fresh herbs, but the sauce will be a green color.

Directions:

This one’s easy. Mix all ingredients together well, and let sit in the fridge overnight. If you are using it as a salad dressing, thin it out with a bit of water before you plan on using it. Nutrition information will vary depending on number of servings.
