Yogurt Sauce
This Yogurt Sauce combines whole milk yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic zest, salt, and red chili flakes into a creamy and tangy condiment. The bright acidity from lemon and the herbaceous dill complement the smooth yogurt base, while the garlic and chili flakes add gentle warmth and depth. It can accompany various dishes as a refreshing sauce or dip.
