Yogurt and sour cream sauce
Including a generous amount of sour cream gives the sauce a wonderful richness that makes it stand out from other yogurt sauces. No secret that pumpkin seed butter is one of our all-time favorite flavors, its use here gives the finished sauce a unique appearance and intriguing taste.
We think it's incredibly versatile and we eat a lot of it. Don't hesitate to experiment—you might agree the best thing about it is it's kinda hard not to come up with a winner!
