Crunchy Ginger Sauce




Dinner components above. I'm trying to find ways to make chicken special. Here's a
simple sauce to dress up fish, chicken or green vegetables. I used Greek style Dannon yogurt which was quite thick but any plain nonfat yogurt will do. Great as a dipping sauce with sliced skinless chicken breast stir fried in one scant TB canola oil and steamed fresh green beans. No leftovers!

The sauce:
makes about 1/2 cup with 12 calories per tablespoon

1 TB finely chopped candied ginger
1 TB orange juice (fresh is best)
1/8 tsp finely grated orange peel
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

I love the ginger orange yogurt flavors and next time I'll add more juice to thin the greek yogurt with lots of orange peel.
