Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, egg whites, olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water (this creates a double boiler effect).
Step 3
Whisk constantly while heating the mixture gently. This prevents the egg whites from cooking into lumps and ensures a silky texture.
Step 4
Continue whisking for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and warms through.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cayenne pepper as preferred.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Step 7
Serve immediately over your favorite dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
