Yogurt Dill Sauce
Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 10-12 as a dip
Inspired by: various yogurt sauces used in combination with spicy cooking – I was looking for a nice flavor balance with some curried chicken kabobs and have since found that this sauce is fabulous with so many different things!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2-3 tablespoons dried dill (dried dill infuses much more flavor than fresh)
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced (optional – I often skip this and almost always skip it when I’m making the dip a day or two ahead as the garlic tends to get too strong)
- 1-2 teaspoon lemon juice
- dash of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (optional – but I love pepper – it goes in most everything!)
Preparation: Mix all ingredients well in small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Notes: Lasts for a while in the refrigerator but the garlic gets stronger over time so if you plan to keep it for a while, I suggest using little or no garlic.
Serve With: Curry chicken kabobs, any other spicy meat or poultry, fabulous on salmon or as a dip for a smoked-salmon wrap, and great alone as an appetizer dip with raw veggies or bread.
