Herbed Yogurt Sauce {Flat Leaf Parsley, Mint, Chives}
This herbed yogurt sauce has really become a must for me. I can’t live without it anymore and I don’t think I’ll make a single one of my appetizer platters without it…
It’s a bit like my Garlic and Chive Cottage Cheese Dip, but in this version, I put even more fresh herbs (flat-leaf parsley, mint, chives, dill, to adapt according to the season and your tastes) but I crush them instead of chopping them, which gives this pretty green color to the sauce.
This fresh herbs sauce will be perfect served with roasted or grilled meats, but also with baked vegetables, whatever they are, or with raw vegetables as an aperitif… You can keep it for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator, in an airtight container.
Every time I serve it to guests, it intrigues with its color and is a real success thanks to its freshness and flavors.
