Tips

  • If you have a zester/microplane, zest your lime peel before squeezing the juice in your sauce mix. Add the lime zest for an extra flavor boost.
  • Store the sauce in your refrigerator for up to the expiry date of your Greek yogurt.
  • You can use all Greek yogurt and omit the mayo. However, you will be left with a slightly thinner sauce, more of a dressing!
  • This sauce can be used for meats (e.g., chicken, shrimp, wraps, tacos, salads, and burritos).
