AHA Essentials: Yoghurt Sauce
yoghurt+sauce

You’ll always find Greek yoghurt in my fridge and this sauce is a great example why.

With just a touch of salt, lemon juice, and olive oil yoghurt takes on it’s savoury alter ego, adding that creamy element to your dishes.

I like this swooped on a plate under grilled vegetables, served as part of a mediterranean grain bowl, alongside falafels or ground meats, or prepare and let strain in a wire strainer lined with cheesecloth over night to make it into a super thick and creamy yoghurt dip called labneh.

Yoghurt Sauce


1 cup plain Greek yoghurt (I like 2%, but 0% also works)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp kosher salt

*you can also add a minced clove of garlic if you like


  1. Whisk together yoghurt, salt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
