Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon spirulina powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, measure out 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ensuring it is at a cool room temperature for optimal mixing consistency.
- Carefully chop fresh dill using a sharp knife, creating fine, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
- Add the chopped fresh dill directly into the Greek yogurt, using a clean spatula or whisk to incorporate thoroughly.
- Measure 1 teaspoon of spirulina powder precisely, ensuring no clumps are present. Gently sprinkle the powder into the yogurt mixture.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice, measuring exactly 1 tablespoon, directly into the sauce. The citrus will help brighten the flavor profile.
- Season with salt to taste, starting with a small pinch and adjusting according to personal preference.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and the spirulina is completely integrated, creating a uniform green color.
- Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and develop a more robust taste.
- Before serving, give the sauce a final stir and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled as a dip, dressing, or condiment.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your Greek yogurt is at cool room temperature for the smoothest possible texture.
- Dill Chopping Technique: Use a sharp knife and rock-chop the dill to create fine, uniform pieces that distribute evenly.
- Spirulina Pro Tip: Sift the spirulina powder to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, consistent color.
- Flavor Balancing: Start with a small amount of salt and taste as you go - you can always add more, but you can't take it away.
- Chilling is Key: Let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Versatility Hack: This sauce is incredibly adaptable - use it as a dip, salad dressing, or drizzle over roasted vegetables.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for maximum freshness.
