I did use this on a butternut and acorn squash soup and it turned out very well. I even prefer this over sour cream! I always find that ginger and lemon juice go very well together.

Mmm! I added 1 1/2 teaspoons Meyer lemon juice... This was perfect with my homemade chapati bread!

Delicious! I also served this with butternut squash and would like to try it with acorn squash next time insha Allah. It didn't even need the sea salt I used and black pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It was great as stated but I will try reducing the garlic slightly next time per preference. Made for 1~2~3 Hits - February 2010 ~ Fall in Love with Red!

This yogurt sauce is so simple and so good I served it in a squash and tonight I will serve it over chicken thighs. I made it in the morning and let it sit in the fridge all day to really get the flavors through the yogurt - A real gem of a find. 23 Nov I had some sauce left over so I wanted to serve it with Soy Chicken thighs recipe#320163 This worked really well - however I also made Onion & spinach recipe#11189 and the sauce with the spinach is out of this world. This sauce is so versatile and look at the Nutricional Facts Good Good Good
