Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 preserved lemon , pulp discarded, peel thoroughly rinsed and finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons preserved lemon juice from jar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. If you prefer the consistency a little thinner, add a little more of the preserved lemon juice.  If you prefer slightly less tang, add another pinch of sugar. Refrigerate for at least one hour before using.
    Store in the fridge in a non-reactive container or jar. Will keep for 3-4 days.
    Makes about 1 cup.
