Eleni’s “amigdalosalata” sauce (Yogurt, dill & almond sauce)

My lovely cousin Eleni (excellent lawyer and mother) who lives in the beautiful Heraklion in the Greek island of Crete gives me this savory recipe for “amigdalosalata”.  A fresh and healthy sauce that will get your mouth watering, made by greek strained yogurt, mustard,  mayonnaise, almonds and a good amount of fresh dill (Anethum graveolens).

If you’re looking for a herb perfumed sauce to serve alongside steak, this is the right one. Amigdalosalata doesn’t require any cooking and can be ready in no time. Enjoy!

( Many thanks to Eleni, Filimon & Nikolas for the exciting moments that we have lived together last month)

Ingredients: 1 kg strained greek yogurt,  1 cup mayonnaise,  2 tbsp mustard,  1 bunch of fresh dill,  1 cup of almonds without skin

Method: Cut each almond in 2-3 parts.  Chop the bunch of dill.

In a large bowl place all ingredients together (Yogurt , mayonnaise , mustard , chopped dill & almonds).  Mix it well and season to taste.

Get grilling and enjoy you summer!
