healthy greek yogurt tartar sauce

I absolutely love this healthy tartar sauce! It’s tangy and tasty, and I serve it with my air fryer haddock as well as homemade chicken nuggets (recipe coming soon!) Great for those who don’t like ketchup.  

I even mixed it into shredded carrots as a coleslaw—honestly, the ideas are endless! I make this sauce with my homemade Greek yogurt, which makes it spectacularly delicious, but you can also use good-quality Greek yogurt from the store. I like to mix full-fat with 2% yogurt, but of course, do what suits your dietary needs.

 

I found this in Skinny Spatula a blog and it’s a keeper! 

 

Ingredients:

1 cup Greek yogurt

3 tablespoons capers – drained and roughly chopped

3 tablespoons dill pickles roughly chopped

1 small shallot (I omit this since it upsets my stomach)

1/2 tablespoons lemon juice – or some dill pickle juice or a combo

fresh parsley if desired (not me) 

1/4 teaspoon salt

black pepper to taste 

 

Mix all ingredients – taste as season 🙂


Gianni Calogiuri Fig Vincotto Vinegar

Not certain what I would do without this vinegar.   It is great right out of the bottle – haha – no – I don’t actually do that, although truthfully I do lick my fingers sometimes.  If on a desert island I might just have to bring it – with one of the salads above and some ice cream :). 

 

As you can see above it is wonderful on my salmon salad and my steak salad.  I basically make a variation of this salad almost every day for lunch.  Today it was leftover chicken.  I add herbs too and usually a diced apple.  If I don’t have a leftover protein I’ll add a fried or boiled egg and add a few pistachios.  Mmmm.  Oh, and cheese is especially good on that steak salad.  I’m sure most of you know all of this and I’m just rambling. 

So, I drizzle this all over, add a tad of good quality extra virgin olive oil, Maldon sea salt and pepper and well….scrumptious.  I’ve been using this vinegar for many years now and I do not tire of it.

It is also great drizzled on roasted brussel sprouts.  Greg likes it mixed with honey and then drizzled on the sprouts.  I used to buy this at a local specialty store but now I can get it online.  Just google it and there are several choices – not just Amazon!
