Lime juice and zest: remove the lid of the food processor, taste the sauce, squeeze ½ lime 3-4 times into the sauce, taste again, place the lid back on and blitz for 2-3 seconds till combined
Serve: recipe will make 1 cup of lime yogurt sauce. Use a spatula to transfer the sauce from the food processor to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Note 1 - Greek yogurt: you can use full fat or low fat Greek Yogurt.
- Note 2 - Lime: We use the zest of the full lime and the juice of ½ the lime
- Note 3 Lime juice: the recipe calls for using only ½ of the lime for juicing. Technically this is 3-4 squeezes of the lime into the sauce. Taste as you go and add more if you wish. The citrus, however, can be very tart and over power the subtle of the sauce, so my recommendation is the 3-4 squeezes. Don't juice the lime separately and pour all that juice in as it will be too much! You really need to taste this one as you go.
