This lemon yogurt sauce uses Greek yogurt as its base. Fresh lemon juice and garlic bring brightness, while capers (yes, you heard that right) add some additional savory depth.

Notes

Olive oil: This is an oil-free dressing but if you wanted to add some, I'd recommend 2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Fresh herbs: such as parsley, cilantro or basil also make a great addition if you want more Mediterranean flavors. I also like to add dill from time to time.
No garlic: If raw garlic isn't your thing you could go for ½ teaspoon of garlic powder or omit.
Vegan: For a dairy-free version you can choose a soy-based, oat-based or coconut-based yogurt depending on your preference. Keep in mind that all those usually have distinct flavors and will change the taste of the dressing slightly.
