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.
