Creamy Lemon Basil Dipping Sauce

Created by Kchurchill5 on October 21, 2011

8 ounces plain Greek yogurt (If you can't find Greek yogurt, regular yogurt is fine, but see my note below)
1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 garlic clove, minced

Step 1: Yogurt ... Greek yogurt is a bit thicker than "regular" yogurt, but you can get that thick texture very easily. Add the yogurt to cheese cloth or a coffee filter and place in a colander and then over a bowl. Let it drain at least 8 hours, or over night. Most of the liquid will drain out and it will become very thick.
Step 2: Sauce ... Add the yogurt, lemon juice and zest, garlic, sugar, basil, salt and pepper to a small bowl and mix well. Serve and ENJOY!
