YOGURT AND BEAN DRESSING WITH THAI FLAVORS



Yogurt and Bean Dressing With Thai Flavors image

This version of Lisa Feldman's yogurt and bean dressing is based on her slightly sweet Thai ginger dressing. Sriracha sauce, I've noticed, has become the go-to condiment for many chefs. It contributes just enough spice and pungency to the mix (you can add more if you want more heat). I like to serve this with grains, and as a dip or a dressing for crispy salads.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup, about (about 6 to 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small garlic clove, halved, green shoot removed
1/2 cup cooked white beans, drained and rinsed if using canned beans
1/2 cup whole milk or 2 percent Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
1 ice cube, if using Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1-2 teaspoons soy sauce, to taste
1 teaspoon sriracha (more to taste)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

  • Scrape into a bowl. Serve as a dip or use with grains or crisp salads (it's a bit too thick for delicate lettuces like spring mixes).

YOGURT AND BEAN DRESSING WITH CILANTRO AND LIME



Yogurt and Bean Dressing With Cilantro and Lime image

One of my favorite variations on Lisa Feldman's bean and yogurt dressing base is her cilantro-lime dressing. Blend cilantro into just about any dressing, purée, sauce or soup, and I'll be there with a spoon. I use a little more cilantro and lime juice than Lisa calls for, to achieve a pale speckled-green mixture that is slightly zingy; add a small green chile if you want a bit more spice.
