Is there anything better than a garlicky yogurt sauce? And the answer to this question is: No there isn’t.
I use this yogurt sauce a lot for wraps, as a side for falafels, fish or veggie dishes like this or this and even as a dipping sauce for French fries or roasted vegetables.
I’m not saying French fries are healthy, but this sauce is and it’s their perfect companion.
So if you’re gonna eat French fries at least do it right and add some probiotic and detoxifying yogurt sauce to treat your taste buds and eliminate that guilty conscience.
WHY IS THIS YOGURT GARLIC SAUCE BETTER THAN MAYONNAISE?
This sauce makes life better. It gives a grilled, cooked or fried meal that beautiful fresh and light yet fragrant contrast. Unlike mayonnaise which would make things heavier and makes you feel like you can’t and don’t want to move. This yogurt garlic sauce is healthier and obviously a better choice if you want to lose weight, improve your skin, your gut and your overall health.
HEALTH AND BEAUTY BENEFITS
This yogurt garlic sauce has lots of health benefits, among others:
- improves detoxification thanks to garlic and lemon juice
- aids digestion thanks to the probiotics in yogurt and prebiotics in garlic
- supplies tons of antioxidants thanks to vitamin C in lemon, and phytochemicals in garlic and parsley
- lowers blood pressure thanks to garlic
All of the above are important for skin health as well.

GOOD TO KNOW
Btw. this sauce would be great as a skin mask as well, if you’re brave enough to get a little garlic on your face! Maybe leave the parsley out for that. 2 minutes with the mask on is enough.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt (whole fat, probiotic)
- 1 garlic clove, minced very finely
- 1/3 cup parsley finely chopped
- ½ lemon, small and just the lemon juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix minced garlic, lemon juice and yogurt until homogenous. Add parsley and mix again. Serve with grilled, cooked or fried meals, also in wraps.
