Introduction

Vegetables are delicious on their own, but this light lemon sauce is a great addition to roasted
or steamed vegetables. I love it over roasted asparagus. Use this in place of Hollandaise
sauce in any recipe. It has all of the tang with much less fat.

Directions

1. Combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, and milk in a food processor and pulse to puree. (You can also use an immersion blender; just place the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.)

2. Add the lemon zest and pulse to combine,
then stream in the lemon juice, whisking continuously, until the mixture is pourable. (You might
not need all the lemon juice.)

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    I like to top veggies with simple lemon butter for even fewer calories. Melt butter or light version and add lemon juice to taste. - 12/31/13
