My favorite way to serve this sauce is over angel food cake with fresh berries. Everyone raves about the sauce, but the best part is how quick and easy it is to make!

SARASOTA'S SIMPLE YOGURT, BASIL, LEMON DIPPING SAUCE



Sarasota's Simple Yogurt, Basil, Lemon Dipping Sauce image

This is so easy and quick. I made this for lunch today to go with steamed artichokes which I made with Recipe #332641. I was extremely short on time and almost canceled making the artichokes, but found this. What a great way to cook them in just minutes. And they were perfect. Now the sauce is a long time favorite which is just easy. It is wonderful on a vegetable platter, also with fried vegetables as a lighter fresh sauce, grilled asparagus as an appetizer, and of course my "chokes." What a nice light appetizer. There was 4 of us and we ate quite a bit, but I love to make the whole batch and during the week I will add some with steamed vegetables. This is also a nice condiment on soups (my favorite is pea soup), in pita pockets. So don't throw the leftover out.

Time 15m

Yield 4 cups dip, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 ounces plain yogurt (I like to use greek yogurt, but everyday yogurt is just fine)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic (more or less if you like)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped fine
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Yogurt -- The best way to do this if you have time, is to put the yogurt in a piece of cheesecloth in a strainer or colander and then in a small bowl over night (wrapped with saran wrap. This allows the sour cream to drain, so the dip isn't wet or runny.
  • Personally, I had no time, but I did buy the greek yogurt which is a bit thicker, mixed everything together and enjoyed. Also, I have used this with just everyday yogurt and did not take the time to let it set over night and it was fine.
