Roasted Pepper Feta Yogurt Sauce
Like any good food processor or blender sauce, this feta yogurt sauce is endlessly versatile (keep reading below for ideas). Plus, it can be made in about 5 minutes, making it ideal for last-minute entertaining, easy weeknight meals or quick snacks.
As suggested by the name, the main ingredient for this Greek yogurt dip or sauce is roasted red peppers. You can buy jarred roasted peppers at most grocery stores or easily make them at home. Follow the tips in How to Roasted a Bell Pepper to make your own in minutes.
Throw the roasted peppers, feta, yogurt and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Next, drizzle in the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Last, stir in the fresh dill. If dill isn't your thing, feel free to substitute fresh basil, mint or oregano.
I can truly say that anything I serve with this sauce is merely a vehicle to get the sauce from the bowl to my mouth. That being said, let's talk serving ideas.
What to serve with roasted pepper yogurt sauce:
