Equipment

Condiment Squeeze Bottles

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk greek yogurt *see notes
1 teaspoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon yellow mustard
¼ tsp sugar
½ teaspoon salt (I used sea salt)

Optional:

1-2 tablespoon milk, or more for a thinner consistency (or milk substitute)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a medium bowl, and whisk until well combined.
Optional: Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of milk or more, for a thinner consistency.
Store in an airtight container, or Condiment Squeeze Bottle in the fridge, for up to 7 days.

Notes

*I would recommend using whole milk plain Greek Yogurt (which is labeled 4% or 5% fat). It's richer and creamier than non-fat greek yogurt! (You can also use sour-cream if that's what you have on hand.)
