    Why you will love this recipe

    This sauce is creamy but uses a yogurt not cream base.

    It uses fresh herbs, so if you grow your own, pick off any caterpillars and give them (the herbs) a rinse.

    The garlic gives a little punchiness and the sauce just goes with EVERYTHING!!

    I am not a huge sour cream fan so years ago, searched for a healthy alternative.

    This Herbed Yogurt sauce ticks all the right boxes and then some!

    Ingredients needed

    The ingredients you need are shown in the photo below, they are all simple and can be found at the local shop (or you can use home grown herbs!)

    Herb Yoghurt Sauce ingredients with text labels

    As you can see, the recipe calls for:

    • Greek Yogurt
    • parsley
    • basil
    • coriander (cilantro)
    • garlic
    • salt and pepper

    There is nothing better to encourage you to eat more salmon, fish and lean meats than serving it with a delicious creamy sauce and fresh vegetables!

    Herbed Yogurt Sauce method

    The steps for the recipe are all very simple, they are shown in the photo below.

    Creamy Herb Yoghurt Sauce method 1 to 4
    • Place herbs, garlic, salt and pepper in food processor (Photo 1)
    • Blitz till chopped (5-10 sec) (Photo 2)
    • Add Greek Yogurt (Photo 3)
    • Blitz again to combine (Photo 4)

    These 4 quick steps are all you need to do!

    No food processor? No worries. Simply use kitchen scissors to finely chop the herbs (it will take slightly longer).

    Then stir in minced garlic, Greek Yogurt, salt and pepper.

    It will taste exactly the same, but it will have a thicker consistency.

    Equipment

    • Food processor

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
    • 3 cloves garlic
    • ½ bunch basil Note 1
    • ½ bunch parsley
    • ½ bunch coriander
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper

    Instructions

    • Add herbs, garlic, salt and pepper to a food processor. Blitz for seconds
    • Add yogurt to herb mix and blitz to combine (5 seconds)
    • Store in a sealed contained in the fridge for up to one week

    Notes

    • Note 1 For your info, where I am indicating ½ bunch of each of the herbs...the 3 herbs loosely packed will equate to approximately 2 cups of herbs. This recipe however, does have some room for (delicious) movement, so if you have 2 ½ cups, go with that and if you have 1 ½ cups go with that.
