Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup low-fat chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg white

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold broth until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining broth with the lemon juice and the cornstarch slurry. Stir well until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Chop the parsley, dill, and thyme finely, then add them to the thickened broth mixture.

Step 4

Stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 5

In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the beaten egg white into the warm lemon herb sauce to create a light and airy foam.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender or a whisk to ensure the sauce remains foamy before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately drizzled over your favorite dish, such as grilled fish or baked chicken.
