TIP OF THE DAY: Easy Yogurt Sauce & Dip
|
You can make a universal sauce or dip in 10 minutes, from plain yogurt.
Serve it with grilled fish, meat, poultry or even to top a burger. Or sweeten it and use it as a fruit dip. You can also mix it with boiled potatoes, macaroni or shredded cabbage for a fat-free potato salad, macaroni salad or cole slaw. The recipe makes 4 servings for a main course or a small bowl of dip. Use your creativity to mix and match the seasonings. Ingredients |

1. COMBINE the yogurt, garlic, lime juice and herbs in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. 2. DRIZZLE over your favorite grilled meats and vegetables, or serve with crudités. Yogurt is a great marinade for meat and poultry. In addition to imparting flavor, it has excellent tenderizing properties. Add garlic, herbs, macerated onion and any other favorite seasonings to the yogurt marinade, or use this dip. 1. REPLACE the garlic with one teaspoon agave, honey or sweetener of choice. (Only lightly sweeten the dip: You want to appreciate the sweetness of the fruit, not overwhelm it.) 2. REPLACE the herb with grated lime zest or other citrus zest (lemon, grapefruit).
