Citrus Yogurt Dip

Dip Or Sauce Recipe For Seafood Or Vegetables

Chef Matthew Dunn created this citrus yogurt sauce to go with his crab cakes. It’s not only delicious, it’s a calorie bargain compared to mayonnaise-based tartar sauce. You can use it to dip or sauce anything, from other fish and seafood dishes to crudités and potatoes to pretzels. Thanks to Chef Dunn and our friends at Zabar’s for the recipe.
