Lemon Yogurt Sauce | Daily Dine

Lemon Yogurt Sauce

A great creamy sauce that's super quick to make and goes with "everything" from beef skewers to roasted vegetables, Gyros wraps to broccoli fritters. I even use it on tacos! It's bright, lemony, slightly garlicky and creamy, without the greasiness of mayo. I love that it works with all sorts of cuisines, though it's especially great with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours.On the odd occasion I don't have a fresh lemon, I'll use 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar (the touch of extra tang really works in this sauce), or just substitute with more olive oil (for a smidge extra richness).Makes 1 cup.

Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt (, preferably full-fat (I use Greek-style, greek or regular plain works))

1/4 tsp finely grated garlic (1/2 clove)

1 tbsp lemon juice ((sub half the amount with apple cider vinegar, or other clear vinegar))

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (, plus more to thin if desired)

1/4 tsp cooking salt/kosher salt ((halve for fine table salt, +50% for flakes))

Pinch black or white pepper (, optional)

Extra water or olive oil to thin (, if needed (use with caution, taste and add extra salt if needed))

Instructions

Step 1
Mix the ingredients in a bowl and set aside for at least 20 minutes to let the flavours meld.
Step 2
Loosen - If you want to thin it slightly (for drizzling) add water or olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time, taste and add more salt if needed. Use for dipping, drizzling, dolloping, smearing (see in post for so many ideas!)
