YOGHURT-MINT SAUCE

Categories Sauce Side No-Cook Low Fat Quick & Easy Yogurt

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

7 oz container of Greek yoghurt (non-fat, low-fat, whole, whatever)*
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint - I've used dried mint in a pinch, but it's a little on the sweet and bland side
1 T lemon or lime juice, whichever is on hand
1 T honey, or to taste
*Greek yoghurt can be found at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and most "natural" food stores. If you can't find this, you can substitute regular, American-style plain yoghurt, but it won't be nearly as intense or creamy. If you do, watch the amount of liquids you add.

Steps:

Mix ingredients in a small bowl until fully blended. Serve to rave reviews. Great with lamb roast, grilled lamb, lamb burgers, tandoori chicken, etc.

Tips:

Choose the right yogurt: For the best flavor and texture, use plain whole milk yogurt. Greek yogurt can also be used, but it will result in a thicker sauce.
Use fresh mint: Fresh mint is essential for this sauce. If you don't have fresh mint on hand, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
Adjust the seasonings to taste: The amount of garlic, salt, and pepper you add to the sauce is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Let the sauce chill before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance.
Serve the sauce with a variety of dishes: Yogurt mint sauce is a versatile condiment that can be served with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even as a dip for pita bread.

Conclusion:

Yogurt mint sauce is a delicious and refreshing sauce that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be used in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or simply looking for a healthy and flavorful dip, yogurt mint sauce is sure to please.
