Ingredients

• 300 g Plain Greek yogurt ( chilled )
• 1 pc Garlic ( degermed and finely minced )
• 10 g Chives fresh ( chopped )
• 1 pc Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. ( juiced )
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground

Instructions

1. Preparing the aromatics

   Finely chop the chives. Crush the garlic after removing the germ to obtain a smooth paste that will blend perfectly without leaving large chunks.

2. Mixing the base

   In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with olive oil and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

3. Final seasoning

   Add the garlic, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix with a spoon. The sauce should be thick but fluid when stirred.

Chef's tips

• Let the sauce rest for 30 minutes in the fridge before serving so the garlic infuses properly.
• If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of cold water.

Storage

Keep for 48 hours in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Stir before serving.
