Method

  • Drain the yogurt in a cheesecloth for a couple of hours or overnight -- blend all ingredients and put in the fridge to let all of the flavors come together.
  • Most of the time, I'll make this dip in the morning to serve in the afternoon or evening.
  • The duration of this recipe is up to the chef -- the tastes really blend with marination, but not completely necessary if you're an instant gratification type of person!
