Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 g / 8.5 oz) whole milk yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) / 1 clove minced garlic
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) fresh lemon juice, or to taste (optional)
  • For a more developed garlic flavor, make the sauce an hour ahead of time and refrigerate. Just be sure to bring it closer to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
  • Finely chop fresh herbs like dill, mint, or chives and stir them into the sauce for a fresh, vibrant twist.
  • Thin the sauce with a splash of olive oil and extra lemon juice for a creamy, tangy dressing perfect for greens or grain salads.

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. 2.
  2. Stir well until everything is smoothly incorporated. 3.
  3. Taste the sauce. If your yogurt isn't tangy enough, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor. 4.
  4. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to a few hours.
  5. Stir a generous dollop into warm rice, quinoa, or couscous for instant creaminess and a boost of flavor and protein.
