Yogurt Mint Sauce
Yogurt mint sauce is the perfect herby condiment to add brightness and flavor to food.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves about ½ an ounce
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley about ½ an ounce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ lemon
Instructions
- Wash the mint and parsley. Remove leaves from mint to equal ⅓ of a cup.
- Add yogurt, mint, parsley, salt, and juice from half a small lemon to a blender.
- Blend or pulse until yogurt sauce reaches desired consistency and herbs are blended into the yogurt. (See NOTES below about blending)
Notes
- The thickness of your sauce will depend on how much you blend the sauce and the thickness of your yogurt. For a thinner sauce, blend more. For a thicker sauce, pulse to incorporate everything. You can also mince the parley and mint and simply stir to combine rather than blending.
- While you can use the sauce as a marinade, I much prefer it as a drizzling sauce so it keeps all the flavors.
- The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
