Notes
This fresh yogurt sauce makes a great side for heavily spiced dishes such as grilled meats, curries, and chilis. The yogurt balances the heat and spices and adds some welcome freshness to heavy, comforting dishes.
Storage: This quick lemon yogurt sauce is perfect for meal prep as it stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing it.
