Garlic Yogurt Sauce

This creamy goodness should be a staple in everyone’s frig, especially if they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, garlic.

I found this recipe at A Mingling of Tastes underneath the Herb Marinated Lamb Kabobs recipe.

HERE’S ALL IT IS

1 cup of plain fat free yogurt
2 garlic clove, crushed
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate until ready to eat. The garlic flavor grows tastier the next day. It will last several days in the refrigerator. I liked to say it would last a week, but we ate it all by day three!

I love garlic yogurt sauce over rice and stir fried vegetables.

OH who am I kidding!?! The rice and vegetables are just an excuse to eat the sauce.

Wow, I do love, love, LOVE garlic and I can see making rice and veggies for the pleasure of putting that sauce all over! Looks yummy.

Hopie, I keep wondering what other ways I can use this sauce. I admit that I’m stuck in the box of how I know to eat it and I can’t think of what else it will go with, besides rice and stir fry veggies.

Any suggestions?

It’s good as a marinade and a dip for chicken.

If you eat baked potatos…. Need I say more?

We make something very similar, but this sounds healthier.

We love, Love, LOVE garlic. (We always add more, the more the merrier!!) Even since we started going back and forth to Russia, where they use a lot of dill, we started adding fresh dill and that gives this a whole new dimension.
