Fry Sauce

the savory and sweet sauces

This month for the Recipe Redux, we are posting recipes about dressings and spreads. What!? Can those actually be healthy? Awesomely, they can. And they can make healthy foods a lot more enjoyable to eat.

We've made a savory dipping sauce, a fresh herb dipping sauce and a sweet dipping sauce, all based in plain greek yogurt. And they are delicious with sweet potato fries. But we shouldn't stop there. They also would be great on a lot of other vegetables. And the sweet sauce would be delicious with fruit.

Come back tomorrow for the recipe for the fries!
