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:

To make the yogurt mint sauce, start by finely chopping the mint leaves and cilantro. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped mint and cilantro.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the yogurt mint sauce with grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. It also makes a great dipping sauce for pita bread or chips.
If desired, you can add a dollop of yogurt mint sauce to your favorite soup or stew. It will add a fresh, flavorful touch.

Conclusion:

Yogurt mint sauce is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is a healthy and refreshing alternative to traditional mayonnaise or sour cream. Try it out the next time you are looking for a new way to add flavor to your favorite dishes.
