1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 teaspoons Greek Spice Blend

Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to intensify. Stir again before serving.

Spice It Up

Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder to process dried spices and herbs immediately before adding them to a recipe helps release their natural oils and flavors. An alternative to keep in mind is hand-cranked grinders — they aren't just for peppercorns anymore. Storing frequently used seasonings in a grinder provides a handy way to add ground herbs and spices to a recipe. For example, Oxo ceramic grinders are available individually or in sets filled with herbs like rosemary and spices like whole cloves.
