greek yogurt sriracha sauce
This Greek yogurt sriracha sauce takes five minutes and goes on everything! Spicy, creamy, a little garlicky - it gets its body from Greek yogurt, so it's lighter than fully mayo-based sauces without tasting like a compromise. 3g of protein per serving and just 30 cals. It's the sauce that lives in your fridge all week and makes even the most plain chicken sing with flavor!

Instructions

I use about ¼ tsp.
- Taste and adjust - more sriracha for heat, a pinch more salt, or a tiny squeeze of lemon juice if it needs brightness.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes for best flavor.

Notes
Greek yogurts vary by brands and fat level. The lower the fat, the thinner the yogurt; the higher the fat, the thicker the yogurt. Your sauce will reflect this.
Storage: Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before serving, as it may separate slightly.
Heat level: Recipe as written is medium spicy. Reduce sriracha to 1 tablespoon for mild, increase to 3 tablespoons for hot.
Make it dairy-free: Swap Greek yogurt for a thick, plain protein dairy-free yogurt. The texture will be slightly thinner.
