Special Sauce with Yogurt

 Ingredients: -1 green onion -1 clove of garlic -3 tablespoons mayonnaise -100 g thick yogurt -1 teaspoon mustard -2 teaspoons lemon juice -salt -pepper

To create a delicious and versatile sauce that will add extra flavor to your dishes, start by preparing a fresh mayonnaise. In a large bowl, add a cup of good quality mayonnaise, preferably homemade, for a more authentic taste. Then, incorporate 200 grams of natural yogurt, which will not only add a note of creaminess but will also make the sauce lighter and healthier.

Add the freshly squeezed juice of a medium lemon to provide a pleasant acidity that will balance the richness of the mayonnaise. Continue with a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, which will add a subtle flavor and a slight spiciness. This mixture quickly becomes a flavorful base, and to give it an extra texture and taste, add a few thin slices of fresh green onions, along with a finely chopped garlic clove. The garlic will bring a depth of flavor, while the green onions will provide a crunchy note.

Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground pepper, adjusting the amount to your taste. It is important to taste the sauce as you prepare it, so you can adjust the flavors to your preferences. Once you have achieved a smooth consistency and a well-balanced taste, give it an attractive appearance by garnishing with a few fresh parsley leaves or colorful peppercorns, which will add a splash of color.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period will allow the flavors to blend and intensify, resulting in a truly savory sauce. After it has cooled, the sauce can be served alongside golden-brown meatballs, juicy steaks, boiled or baked potatoes, but it also pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables or as a dip for chips. Regardless of your choice, this sauce will turn every meal into an unforgettable culinary experience.
