This is a simple yogurt sauce that's great on vegetables or some seafood dishes. You can make it with just yogurt, but I usually just add a little mayo to thicken it slightly since the yogurt I use is quite thin. I like to use the cup attachment on my Hand Blender
Yogurt Sauce Versatility
Here are some optional additions to make the sauce fit your craving
Add some Heat:
1 teaspoon chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon chopped roasted jalapeno or 1 teaspoon chopped chipotle pepper with a few drops of adobo sauce
More Savor & Tang:
Add 1 teaspoon of chopped roasted garlic or a teaspoon of lemon rind
Get creative with your sauces and keep it real! Stay away from the store bought preservative and additive laden sauces. Making a sauce like this truly can take all of 5 minutes and it's so much better for your health.

Afterall, who doesn’t like pancakes? Well, maybe there are some of you out there, but I honestly don’t know many pancake haters. A good savory pancake can comfort hungry bellies. Try them with a creamy or spicy sauce for a kick too. I like to serve these with a horseradish sriracha cream sauce or a lemon chive yogurt sauce. […]
