    This spicy yogurt sauce is the perfect addition to your favorite salad or bowl. It comes together in just 5 minutes, can be made ahead of time and tastes amazing!

    This spicy yogurt sauce can be used for dipping french fries, with baked tempeh, tofu, Buddha bowls, salad dressing, etc.

    However, this sauce is a bit spicy but not too spicy. If you're not a fan of spicy food, skip sambal oelek, or try with less and taste before adding more. I'm a big fan of spicy food and can be pretty generous with my level of spicy sometimes.

    Depending on your personal preference, you can add more salt or sambal oelek to suit what flavor(s) is desired in the dish!

    WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

    Easy to make - The easiest 5-minute dressing that you will ever make using only simple ingredients. It can be prepared directly in a mason jar or bowl depending on your preference!

    Adjustable - This yogurt dressing is so versatile! If you don't like spicy, just omit the sambal oelek. But if your taste buds need a little more kick to them go ahead and add some more sambal oelek for some extra heat.

    INGREDIENTS

    A flar lay of all ingredients needed for this recipe.
    • Yogurt: I used soy yogurt, but if you prefer another plant-based dairy alternative (such as oat or almond) feel free to use that instead. The flavor will change slightly depending on which type of product it's being replaced with--so keep this in mind!
    • Mayonnaise: I used Hellman´s Vegan mayo. You can use any mayo you like.
    • Paprika powder: I used paprika powder. Smoked paprika powder works fine too.
    • Oregano: Dried oregano.
    • Sambal oelek: It´s Indonesian raw chili paste. To substitute use chili flakes, sriracha, or hot sauce, or omit if you don't like spicy food.
    • Salt: To taste.

    HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE: STEP BY STEP

    STEP 1

    Add yogurt, mayonnaise, paprika powder, oregano, sambal oelek, and salt into a medium bowl.

    TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY

    • Chill your sauce to get the best flavor. Place it in an airtight container or a glass jar so that you can store it for at least 30 minutes before eating or serving it! The longer you let it sit, the better.
    • Mix the ingredients thoroughly so that everything is well combined.
    • If needed, taste and adjust seasoning. Depending on your personal preference add more salt or sambal oelek to suit what you're looking for in the dish! If you don't like spicy, just omit the sambal oelek! But if it's really hot levels you are after, taste and adjust adding more sambal oelek, sriracha, or hot sauce.

    STORAGE

    Store this dressing in a glass jar or an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
