Spicy yogurt sauce

Spicy yogurt sauce that is creamy, spicy, gluten-free and vegan. Easy homemade yogurt sauce that can be customized to your liking.

---

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. 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.

INGREDIENTS IN A SPICY YOGURT SAUCE

---

• Yogurt: This is the base of the sauce. I used soy yogurt. However, you can replace soy yogurt with another plant-based yogurt. Depending on your personal taste you can use oat, cashew, almond, even coconut yogurt. But your sauce would get coconut flavor if using coconut yogurt.

• Mayonaisse: 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 or omit if you don’t like spicy food.

• Salt: To taste.
