5-Minute Lemon Yogurt Sauce
This tangy, bright lemon yogurt sauce takes just five minutes to make! If you can mix two things together, you can make this easy sauce. It has a creamy, cool texture and pops of acidity from the lemon. Serve it with meat, fish, rice and grains, or vegetables!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole fat plain greek yogurt
- ½ lemon zest and juice (about 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice)
- ½ teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt (use half as much of another brand)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk well until combined.
- Adjust seasonings to taste!
- This lemon yogurt sauce is best served immediately. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
RECIPE NOTES
- Always zest the lemon before you juice it!
- Some separation will naturally occur while stored in the fridge, stir to combine before serving.
- See blog post for suggested ingredient substitutions and variations!
- Look for the single-serving cups of Greek yogurt at the grocery store. There's usually enough room at the top of the container that you can mix everything in it without having to wash another bowl.
- To create a thinner sauce, add more lemon juice. For more intense lemon flavor, add more lemon zest!
