Why I ā¤ļø it

Sometimes we only have a few minutes to decide what to cook and make it before guests show up. I love this dressing to dress up (ahem) any picadera, whether homemade or a few pita chips, casabe, tostones, or whatever we can quickly get our hands on.

When he made this as a yogurt dressing for a salad (have I told you I am blessed with a husband who can cook?), it just blew my mind: it is rich and flavorful but much lighter than expected.

Serving suggestions

To make it as a potato sauce, add a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon of garlic powder and black pepper to taste to elevate the flavor. Garlic cloves would be too pungent in this sauce.

You can also serve it as a dip with potato chips, oven-fried potatoes, yuca fries, crackers, pita chips, and raw vegetables (like celery, cucumber, or carrots sticks).

This yogurt dip is also perfect as a light sauce with chicken breast dishes or grilled veggies.
