Sarasota's Simple Yogurt, Basil, Lemon Dipping Sauce

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 32 ounces plain yogurt (i like to use greek yogurt, but everyday yogurt is just fine)
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic (more or less if you like)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped fine
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 yogurt -- the best way to do this if you have time, is to put the yogurt in a piece of cheesecloth in a strainer or colander and then in a small bowl over night (wrapped with saran wrap. this allows the sour cream to drain, so the dip isn't wet or runny.
• 2 personally, i had no time, but i did buy the greek yogurt which is a bit thicker, mixed everything together and enjoyed. also, i have used this with just everyday yogurt and did not take the time to let it set over night and it was fine.
