Instructions
Step 1
Simply <a href="/technique/7S3QCKWK/mix">mix</a> all the above ingredients together. The quantities given above produce a mild flavoured sauce which is a wonderful accompaniment to <a href="/technique/QRT27MZS/smoked">smoked</a> salmon. Everything should really be added 'to <a href="/technique/WDCS6JL5/taste">taste'</a> - adding more if a stronger flavour is required.
Step 2
Notes: The choice of ingredients on the first line - simply pick your favourite. I find they all produce similar results - most of the flavours come from the added ingredients. Mayonnaise probably gives a stronger flavoured sauce. An ordinary low fat youhurt may be used to make a <a href="/technique/H3TYV2MZ/reduced">reduced</a> calorie version. If <a href="/technique/3JV6BKBV/soured">soured</a> <a href="/technique/R3P5MM3Z/cream">cream</a> is not available, a good alternative is produced using double <a href="/technique/R3P5MM3Z/cream">cream.</a> Add a few dashes of lemon <a href="/technique/QDWRNXYW/juice">juice</a> (about 1-2tsp) and leave to stand for 10 minutes or so. <a href="/technique/DRM2WPZ4/stir">Stir</a> in the <a href="/technique/QDWRNXYW/juice">juice</a>, and the <a href="/technique/R3P5MM3Z/cream">cream</a> will rapidly <a href="/technique/LXP6HLBF/thicken">thicken</a>.
