This cold bryndza sauce with yogurt and herbs gets its pale green color from fresh herbs. Bryndza, a soft sheep's milk cheese, is blended until smooth with cream cheese, plain yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, basil, mint, and parsley. Serve the sauce right away or refrigerate it for up to two days. It pairs well with roasted or boiled meat and steaks, or serves as a dip for crackers.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Place the bryndza, cream cheese, and yogurt in a blender. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, basil, mint, and a little parsley.
Blend everything until smooth. Serve the sauce immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Tip: Use only the leaves of the basil and mint; the tough stems will not blend smoothly and would leave fibers in the sauce.
