SALT AND PEPPER LASSI WITH MINT

Salt and Pepper Lassi with Mint image

This savory lassi variation includes salt and mint leaves, which are traditional, and black pepper and lime zest, which are not. It's the kind of thing to serve with juicy ripe melon and prosciutto for a light hot weather lunch, or to offer as a nonalcoholic alternative at a cocktail party. Sheeps' milk yogurt lends a lovely earthiness to the mix but plain cows' milk yogurt is a perfectly fine alternative. Feel free to adjust the salt and sugar levels to suit your taste. You want this on the savory side, but a little more sweetness works nicely with the pepper and mint.
