Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

Sauces & Dressings

Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk Greek-style yogurt
3/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
4 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
3/4 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

Stir together all ingredients with 1 teaspoon
salt (or to taste), then chill, covered, at least
30 minutes (for flavors to blend). Bring to room
temperature before serving.

Cooks’ Notes: If you don’t have
access to Greek-style yogurt, you can make Yogurt Cheese
by by draining 3 cups regular plain whole-milk yogurt
in a paper-towel-lined sieve, chilled, at least 1 hour
and up to 1 day.
