Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Light herb sauce
Peel, rinse and chop 1 spring onion (scallion) finely.

Rinse, dry and chop parsley and fresh coriander (cilantro) . 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.

Stage 2 - 1 min.
Light herb sauce
Put the herbs into a bowl and add 350 g Greek yoghurt.

Otherwise, you can use cream cheese or unsweetened fromage frais.

Stage 3 - 1 min.
Light herb sauce
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.

Stage 4 - 1 min.
Light herb sauce
Mix thoroughly, check the seasoning and it's ready.
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.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
Source: Home made.
