Lemon yogurt sauce isn’t just another condiment it’s the fresh, tangy secret that instantly lifts any meal. Creamy, zesty, and simple to whip up, this versatile sauce makes chicken, fish, roasted veggies, or even pasta taste like something special. One night, I swirl in garlic for a bold lemon garlic yogurt sauce. Another, I fold in dill and serve it alongside salmon or shawarma. If I want something lighter, I thin it with olive oil for a bright lemon yogurt dressing. However you spin it, this sauce keeps dinner exciting without extra effort.
