1. Step 1: Sauce base:
In a bowl, pour the yogurt.
It is what will bring all the sweetness and creamy texture to the sauce.
Simple, but effective!
2. Step 2: Seasoning:
Add the mustard, olive oil, salt (optional), and pepper. Mix well so that all the ingredients blend harmoniously.
Don't hesitate to taste and adjust according to your preferences.
3. Step 3: Herbs:
Wash and finely chop the dill.
Incorporate it into the sauce for a touch of freshness and a delicate aroma.
This little extra makes all the difference. It is not mandatory to use only one herb.
On the contrary, mixing parsley, chives, and dill, for example, is entirely possible.
4. Step 4: Let's eat:
Mix one last time and serve the sauce with a green salad, crunchy raw vegetables, or even homemade croutons.
It's ready!
If you have the opportunity, don't hesitate to prepare this sauce a little in advance so that it is even more flavorful.
5. Here are some tips and tricks to vary your yogurt sauce and serve it with dishes other than salad.
Variations of yogurt sauce for salad:
