Step by step recipe
| 1 |  | Peel, rinse and chop 1 spring onion (scallion) finely. Rinse, dry and chop parsley and coriander . The quantities are approximate: say 2-3 tablespoons of each. Chop the chives finely, including the flowers if you can to add extra flavour and an attractive touch of colour. |
5 min. |
| 2 |  | Put the herbs into a bowl and add 350 g plain yoghurt. Choose a Greek-style yoghurt if possible, as this has a thick, smooth texture. Otherwise, you can use cream cheese or unsweetened fromage frais. |
1 min. |
| 3 |  | Add 2 tablespoons Herb olive oil (or simply plain olive oil, if you don't have any) and the juice of ½ lemon. Salt lightly and pepper generously. |
1 min. |
| 4 |  | Mix thoroughly, check the seasoning and it's ready. | 1 min. |
Remarks
One interesting possibility with this sauce is the hot-cold contrast: piping-hot baked potatoes, split open with a spoonful of really cold sauce in the middle - simply delightful!
Make plenty at a time, as it is always popular.
