Basil Yogurt Sauce for Any and Everything

Creamy, punchy, and full of fresh basil — the kind of sauce that finds its way onto everything.

Ingredients

• 1 large bunch fresh basil, leaves only

• 1 garlic clove

• ½ jalapeño (or 1 teaspoon chili flakes)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Blend the Base
   In a small food processor (like a 4-cup Cuisinart), combine the basil, garlic, jalapeño, olive oil, vinegar, honey, and salt. Pulse about 20 times until the mixture resembles a rough paste — you should still see small bits of basil.

2. Add the Yogurt
   Add the yogurt and pulse just until smooth and fully combined.

3. Serve
   Transfer to a serving bowl. Spoon over chicken, fish, roasted vegetables — or just about anything.
