The Greek yogurt sauce with oranges and spices is the ideal dressing to season in a light and tasty way hard-boiled eggs, crudités, and salads; or grilled or boiled fish and white meats. The fundamental ingredients of this exquisite yet delicate sauce are Greek yogurt and oranges to which spices give the right balance of flavors and aromas. It is the ideal condiment for those who love the tangy and full flavor of natural yogurt. I recommend using Greek or similar yogurt, as long as it is thick and full-bodied and not creamy, to avoid the orange juice added to the preparation making the sauce excessively liquid. The Greek yogurt sauce with oranges and spices is prepared in less than 15 minutes and can be stored in the fridge, well sealed, for about 3-4 days.
