Why This Recipe Works

The acidity of yogurt helps balance and cut through fatty meats, fish, spicy dishes, and so much more. Here, we flavor the yogurt with garlic and fresh herbs, but it doesn't stop there. Jazz up your yogurt with lemon juice, lime juice, citrus zest, or any assortment of dried spices to turn basic yogurt into a flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk or low-fat plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 30 minutes to blend flavors.
